If you were shown one photograph of pumice and one of granite how could you distinguish between the two rocks?
Pumice is a volcanic rock that is light and porous, often featuring a rough texture with numerous air pockets, making it buoyant and able to float on water. In contrast, granite is an igneous rock that is dense and typically has a coarse-grained texture with visible mineral crystals, often appearing speckled due to its composition of quartz, feldspar, and mica. These differences in texture, weight, and appearance would allow for easy distinction between the two rocks.

Which igneous rock cools the slowest pumice and Granite?
Granite cools slower than pumice. Granite forms deep underground, allowing it to cool slowly and develop large mineral grains, whereas pumice cools quickly on the Earth's surface due to its volcanic origins, resulting in a fine-grained texture.
