What are the pulverized rock lava ash and other fragments ejected from the vent of volcano called?

Tephra.. (not pumice - Pumice is the light stone which forms during an eruption)


What is the name of the stone flote on water?

A stone that can float on water is a pumice stone. Ejected from a volcano, and full of holes, it has been known to float.


What tree is flung out from volcanos?

The tree commonly associated with being flung out from volcanoes is the pumice tree. Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that is light enough to float on water and can be ejected during volcanic eruptions. This can create the appearance of trees being flung out from the volcano.


When was pumice found?

Pumice is a vesiculated igneous rock, meaning that it has tiny pockets of gas trapped inside. These pockets of gas cause pumice to have a very low density. Pumice is usually (though not always) a felsic rock, meaning that it has a high silica content. It is formed when lava is ejected from a volcano. As it cools, gases come out of solution and form bubbles. These bubbles are trapped as the pumice solidifies. It usually forms in areas where felsic volcanic activity is high, which includes continental hot spots and continental volcanic arcs. Composite volcanoes are highly felsic, so any location where composite volcanoes occur, such as Mt. Fuji, Japan, is a prime location for pumice formation. Other volcano types, such as shield volcanoes or cinder cones, may also produce pumice.


What rock group does pumice belong to?

Pumice forms from the eruption of volcanoes. It occurs from hot pressurized rock that gets ejected from the volcano during eruption.

Is pumice a intrusive rock?

No, pumice is an extrusive rock ejected into the atmosphere by volcanic eruptions.


Where is pumice formed?

Pumice is formed near and above volcanoes from foamy lava that has been ejected.

Is pumice a mineral?

Pumice is a textural term for a volcanic rock that is a solidified frothy lava typically created when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from a volcano


Does pumice get shot out of the volcano?

yes.


Does pumice turn to liquid when it leaves a volcano?

No, pumice does not turn into a liquid when it leaves a volcano. Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that forms from frothy lava with high gas content that solidifies quickly, resulting in its porous and lightweight structure.
