No, sedimentary rocks are generally not vesicular. Vesicular rocks are typically igneous rocks that contain gas bubbles trapped during cooling, creating a porous appearance. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, which do not typically contain vesicles.

What are vescular rocks?
Vesicular rocks are rocks that contain gas bubbles or vesicles within their structure. These bubbles form when gases trapped in the molten rock are released as the rock cools and solidifies. Common types of vesicular rocks include pumice and scoria.
What are examples of igneous rock?
nothing
What are rocks with holes in them called?
neckles rock --- I suppose Agate is one of the rocks forming slowly in nature and often with holes in the middle and also often having crystals of pure clear quartz in the middle. regards.
How does a vesicular texture in a volcanic rock develop?
A vesicular texture in a volcanic rock develops when gas bubbles are trapped in the molten lava as it cools and solidifies. As the magma rises to the surface, the decrease in pressure allows dissolved gases to expand and form bubbles. If the lava solidifies quickly enough, these bubbles become preserved within the rock matrix, resulting in a vesicular texture. Common examples of vesicular volcanic rocks include pumice and scoria.
What is an example of vesicular rocks?
An example of vesicular rock is pumice, which is a light-colored igneous rock that forms from volcanic eruptions. Pumice contains many small cavities (vesicles) caused by trapped gas bubbles in the molten rock that rapidly cooled and solidified.

What are vescular rocks?
Vesicular rocks are rocks that contain gas bubbles or vesicles within their structure. These bubbles form when gases trapped in the molten rock are released as the rock cools and solidifies. Common types of vesicular rocks include pumice and scoria.
Are intrusive rocks vesicular?
Intrusive rocks are typically not vesicular because they cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing gas to escape and preventing the formation of vesicles. Vesicles are more commonly found in extrusive rocks that cool quickly on or near the Earth's surface, trapping gas bubbles within the rock.
Which are igneous rocks?
== == Igneous rocks have formed from molten material either above (extrusive) or below (intrusive) ground level. Extrusive igneous rocks include obsidian, basalt, and rhyolite; intrusive igneous rocks include gabbro and granite.
What is vesicular texture in rock?
* Vesicular rock texture is generally displayed in extrusive igneous rocks which contain many vesicles of trapped air, such as pumice or scoria. * Igneous rocks containing holes which were produced as gases escaped from the upper part of lava flow.
What are examples of igneous rock?
nothing
What are the different types of rock texture?
The main types of rock texture are crystalline, fragmental, glassy, and vesicular. Crystalline rocks have interlocking mineral grains, fragmental rocks are made up of broken fragments of pre-existing rocks, glassy rocks have no crystal structure due to rapid cooling, and vesicular rocks have cavities or bubbles caused by gas escaping during solidification.
What is the difference between a vesicular igneous rock and a nonvesicular igneous rock?
Vesicular rocks contain lots of small cavities, usually filled with air. Non- vesicular ones don't have these holes. Vesicles are formed when magma suddenly rushes out on to the surface and its dissolved gases come out of solution, blowing bubbles in the liquid rock which are preserved as it cools quickly and sets. An example of a vesicular rock is pumice.
What are rocks with holes in them called?
neckles rock --- I suppose Agate is one of the rocks forming slowly in nature and often with holes in the middle and also often having crystals of pure clear quartz in the middle. regards.
What type of rock has holes in it?
Volcanic rocks with gas bubbles are called vesicular. This, however, is a descriptive term rather than an actual rock types. Some vesicular volcanic rocks include pumice, scoria, and vesicular basalt.
What is the difference between instrusive rocks and extrusive rocks?
Extrusive rocks form above the surface, cooling quickly and bearing a glassy or fine texture and may be vesicular. Intrusive rocks form below the surface and form slowly, giving it a coarse texture.
Explain how a metamorphic rock can be changed into a sedimentary rock?
It's the other way around: How does a sedimentary rocks turn into a metamorphic rocks? The answers is: "By heat and pressure". Metamorphic rocks never turn into sedimentary rocks.
