Is volcanic rock heavy?

Why is basalt a common igneous rock?

What is the hardness of a volcanic rock?
Volcanic rocks can vary in hardness depending on their mineral composition. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, most volcanic rocks fall between 5 to 7, with basalt being around 6 and rhyolite around 7.
Can stratification occur in a volcanic rock?
Yes, stratification can occur in volcanic rocks. Volcanic rocks can display layering, or stratification, as a result of different types of volcanic events or processes that occurred during their formation, such as changes in magma composition or environmental conditions. These layers can provide valuable information about the history of the volcanic activity that produced the rock.
What is a rock that starts with a k?
Kimberlite is a volcanic rock. Kenyte is a volcanic rock found on Mount Kenya.
What type of rock is porous volcanic rock?
Porous volcanic rock is commonly classified as either pumice or scoria. Pumice is often lighter in color and has a very porous texture due to the presence of numerous gas bubbles, while scoria is darker and similarly porous but is typically more dense than pumice. Both are formed from volcanic eruptions and can float on water.
