Analysis of the materials indicate that the liquid is mostly water and the wax is mostly common paraffin wax. However, various ingredients have been added to both the water and wax to affect their densities and assist in the flow of the lamp. The exact compositions of these ingredients are considered by many of the manufacturers to be trade secrets.

Does the temperature of the water affect the reaction of a lava lamp?
Yes. The temperature of the liquid and the wax both affect the action of a lava lamp.
Is lava cooling into lava rocks a chemical change?
No. This is simply a change of state from liquid to solid. It is a physical change.
What is the liquid materials inside the earth?
the liquid materials inside the earth is the magma. Or in another words, the lava which erupts from volcanoes
What is the scientific explanation of how a lava lamp works?
lava lamp works best in a volcano
What is the size of the smallest lava lamp?
The size of the smallest lava lamp is 11.5 inch
What is the goop inside a lava lamp made of?
Water, wax, and carbon tetrachloride.
What is inside a lava lamp?
Inside a lava lamp there is wax.
What does the liquid inside of a lava lamp consist of?
It is usually wax that melts as the lamp is turned on. When it is heated, it then begins to float around with the convection current created by the heat-generating lamp, thus creating the "lava" effect.
Is the inside of a lava lamp toxic?
yes

Why are lava lamp called lava lamp?
Because the way they glow and how if you buy a red one it looks like lava.I say that the part that moves is the lava, and the liquid when lit with the light bulb turns into a lamp. as you can see in the dark. Thus the lava lamp.
What is an example of a liquid moving through a liquid?
lemon juice and water The two liquids in a lava lamp.
What is the science concept on Lava lamp?
it is the flow of electrons moving throw the liquid
What is a lava lamp circulating lava inside itself?
The "lava" in a lava lamp is just melted colored wax. Convection currents cause blobs of the wax to rise and fall in the clear mineral oil mixture.
