How long does it take for a lava cave to form?
That's extremely variable and specific to each cave, but you have to think in tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
Do caves exist in volcanoes?
Yes, inactive volcanos will have lava tubes that are just like caves, they are the paths molten lava took to get to the surface.
What type of lava is least likely to form a pyroclastic flow?
Well, the least would most likley be in the hot spots.
What type of plate boundary is a lava dome volcano on?
A lava dome is most likely to form at a convergent boundary.
What type of volcano is most likely to form fluid lava?
B.an explo eruption
Where do lava tube caves form?
Lava tube caves form when low viscosity lava flows beneath the hardened surface of lava flow while the volcano is active. Then when the volcano is dormant or extinct, it leaves cave like channels.
What are the different types of caves?
The main types of caves are solution caves, lava caves, sea caves, glacier caves, and talus caves. Solution caves form from the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone; lava caves are created by flowing lava; sea caves are carved by the action of waves on coastal cliffs; glacier caves form within glaciers due to melting and refreezing processes; and talus caves are formed by fallen rocks creating cave-like structures.

What states do not have caves?
None.In USA? Caves can only form in limestone, with a few exceptions such as lava tubes, so does every Americanstate contain karst landscapes then?

How are lava tube caves and mount Pinatubo the same?
They both depend on eruptions for their formation but lava tubes form only in large flows of low-viscosity, basaltic,lava. I don't know if this applies to Mt. Pinatubo.
What mountain would lava may form?
Lava may form a mountain called a volcano!
What type of lava is least likely to form a pyroclastic flow?
Well, the least would most likley be in the hot spots.
What rock form from cooling lava?
Lava will cool to form extrusive igneous rock. The exact type would depend on the composition of the lava.
Where do caves usually form?
Caves usually form in areas with limestone or other soluble rocks that can be dissolved by water over long periods of time. Common locations for cave formation include regions with karst topography, such as in limestone landscapes or near volcanic activity, where lava tubes can create caves.
What is most likely to form when lava from the Moon's interrior flooded bowl like reigions on the Moon's surface?
Maria is what is most likely to form.
What type of plate boundary is a lava dome volcano on?
A lava dome is most likely to form at a convergent boundary.
