Are volcanic rocks porous?
Igneous rocks range from the highly porous pumice to the nearly non-porous granite. In some explosive eruptions of felsic magma, as is the case with pumice, the frothy mixture of rock and gas cools so rapidly that open vesicles are preserved, making it very lightweight and porous. With granite, the intrusive igneous rock has had a long time to cool underground, and with its interlocking crystalline structure, it has an extremely low porosity.
