Granite is formed from magma, not lava. And, no, they are not the same thing. Magma is inside of the Earth, but lava is what you get after the magma reaches Earth's surface and gasses within it expand when the pressure is deduced.

Granite pumica and scoria are igneous rocks Why doesnt granite air have airholes like the other two?
it is because granite is formed by magma that cools under the earth unlike pumica and scoria that form while a volcano erupts.
What is the chemical symbol for Granite?
granite doesnt have a chemical symbol because it is a form of an igneous rock
Why doesnt granite have airholes like pumice and scoria?
Pumice and scoria are both extrusive igneous rocks that form when molten rock is ejected from a volcano. In both cases gasses trapped in the magma are released, forming bubbles. Granite, by contrast, is an intrusive rock that forms when molten rock cools deep underground without erupting from a volcano. The magma is under great pressure so that gasses cannot be released. Instead they become part of the mineral structure of the newly form rock.

Does a cuttlefish have airholes?
Yes they have 250 air holes on inner surface of tentacles
What are stomater?
Stomates are a part of a plant that keeps the plant moist and wet.
Why doesnt granite erode quicker compared to other rocks?
Granite is a type of igneous rock that is composed of very hard minerals, such as quartz and feldspar. These minerals make granite highly resistant to weathering and erosion. Additionally, granite has a coarse grain structure, which makes it more resistant to the physical forces that break down rocks. This combination of hard minerals and a strong structure allows granite to erode at a slower rate compared to other rocks.
What type of rock is the El Capitan Rock?
Granite
What is the density of tender coconut?
A coconut isnot a completely dense object as it is hollow so you can not answer that question unless you crush it into one with no airholes
When a granite intrudes into a layer of limestone which is younger granite or limestone?
granite
Can you make a hamster cage out of a transparent bred basket?
I wouldn't see why not as long as you had adequate airholes and the hamster wasn't able to get out in any way.
