Are Vesicles are pieces of country rock broken off by intruding magma?
No, vesicles are not pieces of country rock; they are gas bubbles that form in volcanic rocks during the solidification of magma. As magma rises to the surface, gases dissolved in the magma escape, creating bubbles that become trapped as the magma cools and solidifies. In contrast, pieces of country rock that are broken off by intruding magma are referred to as xenoliths.
