it has aa lava, so it is not fluid like, but still basaltic.
Yes, lava flows still occur today. Volcanic eruptions can release lava, which flows down the volcano's slopes. Lava flows can pose risks to nearby communities and infrastructure, but they are a natural part of the Earth's geological processes.
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
the opening where the lava flows is call a vent
Magma that flows onto Earth's surface is called lava.
No. Lava flows vary in composition. Most lava flows consist of basaltic lava, which can flow as smooth phoehoe or form jagged and broken a'a. Other lava flows are more viscous and will have blocky surfaces and tend to be short and thick.
They are old lava flows from the time when the moon still had a molten core.
Obsidian is created whenever water flows on top of still lava.
A volcano is a mountain from which lava flows out during an eruption.
Lava flows can be stopped or deflected by ridges, valleys and depressions in the ground.
When lava flows reach the sea, the lava rapidy cools to form an igneous rock.
Yes. Lava flows can be extremely destructive. Since most lava flows move slowly, though, relatively few people have been killed by them.
