Floating Rocks
Floating Rocks explores the fascinating phenomenon of volcanic pumice, rocks that defy their density to float across oceans. This book examines how explosive volcanic eruptions create these floating rocks, detailing the crucial role of vesicularity – countless air pockets – that make pumice buoyant. These pumice rafts aren''t just geological oddities; they significantly impact marine ecosystems by...
