Pumice and obsidian are both forms of volcanic glass, which weathers away fairly easily.
Pumice.
Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from rapidly cooling lava.
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock. while, Marble is a (non-folliated) metamorphic rock.
Absolutely nothing dude the rock physicly doesnt change
I think there are more than two uses of volcanic rock. There are two FORMS of volcanic rock. One is pumice and the other is obsidian. Pumice is often used for landscaping, personal beauty uses (callus removal), etc. The other is obsidian. Obsidian is like glass and ancient people's used it for tools. Knives, arrowheads, and other tools that one would want to have a sharp edge are perfect uses of obsidian. In modern times, obsidian is used for jewelry, art, and even some modern day surgical tools.

Neither. Both pumice and obsidian are igneous.

Yes
Obsidian, basalt, andesite, pumice.
Metamorphic. Obsidian.
The common name for obsidian rock is volcanic glass.
No, pumice is not a metamorphic rock. It is actually a type of igneous rock that forms from volcanic eruptions when frothy lava cools rapidly and traps gas bubbles inside, resulting in its characteristic porous texture. Metamorphic rocks are formed through the transformation of existing rocks under heat and pressure.
Travertine might be called porous. Pumice might be considered metamorphic.
Obsidian is a dense, dark volcanic rock formed from fast-cooling lava, resulting in a glassy texture, while pumice is a light, porous volcanic rock formed from frothy lava with trapped air bubbles, giving it a spongy texture. Obsidian is typically black or dark-colored, while pumice is usually light-colored due to its high porosity.
Pumice is not a mineral; it is a type of volcanic rock with a frothy texture. Obsidian, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring volcanic glass and is considered a mineraloid rather than a true mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure.
