Pumice is a volcanic rock that floats Its density is?

With out knowing further knowledge about the rock it is unable to determine the exact density. However, since the rock floats, presumably in water, the density must be less then 1.00g/L.


What is the name of The rock which do not sink in water?

What is the only rock that has less density in water?

The only rock that floats in water is pumice. Pumice is formed from volcanic eruptions and has a lot of air bubbles trapped within its structure, which reduces its density and allows it to float on water.


Name an extrusive rock with a very low density?

Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock with a density less than that of water.


What rock would have the lowest density?

Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that has the lowest density and can even float on water due to its high amount of air pockets.


Which type of stone is lighter than water?

Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that is lighter than water. This is due to the presence of air bubbles trapped within the rock's structure, giving it a low density that allows it to float on water.


How can there be a rock that can float?

Floating (on water) happens when the item place in the water is less dense than the water. The density of the rock called "pumice" is less than that of water so pumice floats. Pumice is a volcanic rock made form a lava "foam" it is solidified rock froth and therefore is very light.


Why does pumice float?

Pumice is full of holes called vesicles formed from gasses escaping the molten rock. The holes greatly reduce its density.


What rocks float?

Pumice is a type of rock that can float on water due to its high porosity and low density. It is formed from volcanic eruptions and is commonly found near volcanic regions.


Is there such a thing as a floating rock?

Yes. It's called pumice, an extrusive felsic igneous rock with a density less than that of water.


What rock floats on water?

Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
