No rocks float, irrespective of color with the exception of pumice, a solidified lava froth.
The extrusive volcanic rock pumice can float on water. Other extrusive volcanic rocks are not so lucky.
Rocks generally do not float on water because their density is greater than that of water. However, certain types of rocks, like pumice, can float due to their unique structure, which contains numerous air pockets that reduce their overall density. When the density of a material is less than that of the water, it can float, demonstrating the principle of buoyancy.
They're hard AND the float on magma.
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Churches! Very small rocks!
Well rocks don't float because they are a solid with no air.
No rocks float, irrespective of color with the exception of pumice, a solidified lava froth.
No
the density
it has holes in it and has kelfrigis
asteroids
one. Pumice.
Pumice.
