Q: What helps pumice float in water?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Some extrusive igneous rocks cool so rapidly that crystals do not develop at all. These form a glass, such as obsidian. Others, such as pumice, contain holes where gas bubbles were trapped in the lava. The holes make pumice so light that it actually floats in water. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt. It is the rock that makes up the ocean floor. Shown below are three types of extrusive igneous rocks ( Figure below ).

 Choices:

- high density

- large mass

- gravity

- gas bubble holes


A:
gas bubble holes
