What is the only rock that floats?

Pumice

Why does Pumice float?

It’s density is less than water because

of all of its holes.

What is the difference between intrusive and

extrusive igneous rocks?

Extrusive igneous rocks cool quickly from on the

outside of a volcano, and intrusive igneous

rocks cool slowly deep inside the earth near a

magma chamber.

Is Pumice extrusive or intrusive?

Extrusive

Is obsidian extrusive or intrusive?

Extrusive

Is granite extrusive or intrusive, and

how do you know?

Intrusive, because it has big minerals that you can see.

What is the fastest cooling rock, and

why does it cool so fast?

Obsidian, because it forms from hot lava that was exposed to cold water and the

rock formed instantly.
