The Avellino Pumice eruption occurred around 3945 years ago, dating back to approximately 1950 BCE. It was a significant volcanic event that originated from Mount Vesuvius in Italy, producing a large volume of pumice and volcanic ash.
I learned it in school today. It occurred in 1800 BC. :)
how did pumice get here
Pumice is nonmetallic.
Pumice can be found after a volcanic eruption.
There is no such thing as a pumice geode. Pumice and geodes form under completely different conditions.
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.
Pumice does not occur in the New International Version of the Bible at all.
