Scoria or cinder is a pyroclastic, highly vesicular, dark-colored volcanic rock formed by ejection from a volcano as a molten blob and cooled in the air to form discrete grains called clasts. [1][2] It is typically dark in color (brown, black or purplish-red), and basaltic or andesitic in composition.

Scoria is a dark-colored igneous rock with abundant round bubble-like cavities known as vesicles. It ranges in color from black or dark gray to deep reddish brown. Scoria usually has a composition similar to basalt, but it can also have a composition similar to andesite.

Scoria is a highly vesicular pyroclastic rock, meaning it's formed from volcanic fragments ejected during an eruption. It's highly vesicular, meaning it has numerous holes or cavities called vesicles, which give it a sponge-like texture. Scoria is typically …

Scoria, heavy, dark-coloured, glassy, pyroclastic igneous rock that contains many vesicles (bubblelike cavities). Foamlike scoria, in which the bubbles are very thin shells of solidified basaltic magma, occurs as a product of explosive eruptions (as on Hawaii) and as frothy crusts on some pahoehoe.

The meaning of SCORIA is the refuse from melting of metals or reduction of ores : slag.

Scoria is an extrusive igneous rock composed of highly vesicular volcanic glass, formed from violent eruption, depressurization, and rapid cooling of lava. It is almost always dark in color with a mafic or intermediate composition. Scoria is can be differentiated from pumice by its inability to …
