What else can I help you with?
You find a type of volcanic rock that is fairly smooth and has only a few small holes made when gas and water vapor escaped as the rock cooled. You know that the rock can be classified as .?
The rock can be classified as basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava at Earth's surface. The small holes in the rock are likely vesicles, which are created when gas and water vapor escape as the molten lava solidifies.
What are holes in a rock that result from rapid cooling called?
Holes in a rock that result from rapid cooling are called vesicles. These form when gas bubbles trapped in molten rock solidify before they can escape, leaving behind cavities in the rock as it cools and hardens.
What is the mafic rock that is full of holes and made of dense materials is?
The mafic rock that is full of holes and made of dense materials is basalt. Basalt is formed from lava that has rapid cooling, which traps gas bubbles inside the rock.
Why do holes form in some extrusive rock?
the holes in extrusive igneous rocks (lava) are called vesicles. They are formed by gas escaping from the rock when molten, leaving bubbles in the melt which which may be preserved when the lava solidifies
Definition of a porous rock?
A porous rock is a type of rock that contains small holes or spaces within its structure, allowing fluids (such as water, oil, or gas) to pass through it. These pores can vary in size and shape, influencing the rock's ability to store and transmit fluids.
What is a igneous rock made with volcanic rock with many air holes light enough to float on water?
That is a type of rock called pumice.
What is the type of rock fragment that contains holes and tunnels left by escaping gases called?
The type of rock fragment that contains holes and tunnels left by escaping gases is called a vesicular rock. These holes and tunnels are known as vesicles, and they form when gas bubbles are trapped in magma during solidification. Examples of vesicular rocks include pumice and scoria.
Does an ingneous rock contain many small holes?
An igneous rock can contain small holes called vesicles, which are formed by gas bubbles trapped in the rock during its cooling process. These vesicles can vary in size and density depending on the type of igneous rock and the amount of gas released during solidification.
What type of rock is looked for when seeking deposits of natural gas?
Sedimentary Rocks. When holes are drilled through the rock into these spaces, natural gas is obtained for out usage
You find a volcanic rock that is fairly smooth and only has a few small holes made when gas and water vapor escaped as the rock cooled you know that the rock can be classified as?
The volcanic rock can be classified as basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms from the solidification of lava flows. The smooth texture and small holes, known as vesicles, are characteristic features of basalt.

What is the name of tiny holes in a rock?
The tiny holes in a rock are called vesicles. These are formed when gas bubbles that are trapped in molten lava solidify and become preserved in the rock as it cools.
If a rock has many small holes what is it?
It is possibly a volcanic rock, for example scoria
What is a volcanic rock with many air holes?
Pumice
What is the name for the natural holes found in rock?
Craters
Is Scoria rock igneous?
Yes,Scoria (a type of Basalt) Basalt is a dark-colored rock that formed as lava cooled and hardened. Scoria is a type of basalt that's full of bubble holes. The bubbles formed as the lava was blasted out of a volcano, and were trapped as the lava cooled and hardened.
What are two ways you could identify igneous rock?
When it has holes and small rocks inside the rock
