pumice |
rhyolite |
As nouns the difference between pumice and rhyolite
is that
pumice is a light, porous type of pyroclastic igneous rock, formed during explosive volcanic eruptions when liquid lava is ejected into the air as a froth containing masses of gas bubbles. As the lava solidifies, the bubbles are frozen into the rock while
