Question
what type of rock is this?
metamorphic
igenous
sedimentary
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. One type of igneous rock is pumice, which has a porous texture due to gas bubbles trapped during the rapid cooling of lava. The rock in the image has a porous appearance, characteristic of igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks form from pre - existing rocks under heat and pressure, often with foliated or non - foliated textures. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, usually with layering or fossil content. Since the rock has a vesicular (porous) texture typical of igneous rocks (like pumice formed from lava), it is igneous.
