Granite can have small air holes, or vesicles, due to the presence of gas bubbles that were trapped in the molten rock as it cooled and solidified. During the formation of granite, gases released from the magma can become trapped, creating these voids. However, it's important to note that true granite typically has very few, if any, visible air holes, as it is an igneous rock formed from slow crystallization deep within the Earth. The presence of air holes is more common in volcanic rocks like basalt.

Granite pumica and scoria are igneous rocks Why doesnt granite air have airholes like the other two?

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing time for crystal formation without trapping much gas. Pumice and scoria, on the other hand, are extrusive igneous rocks that cool rapidly at the surface, trapping gas bubbles within the rock, creating the characteristic airholes.


Why doesn't granite have airholes?

Granite is formed from magma, not lava. And, no, they are not the same thing. Magma is inside of the Earth, but lava is what you get after the magma reaches Earth's surface and gasses within it expand when the pressure is deduced.

What causes of the flame to be orange when the airholes of the Bunsen burner is close?

When the airholes of a Bunsen burner are closed, the combustion process is incomplete. This limits the amount of oxygen available for the reaction, causing the flame to turn orange due to the presence of unburned carbon particles emitting light. The incomplete combustion leads to a less efficient and cooler flame compared to the blue flame produced when the airholes are open.
