Magma that flows onto Earth's surface is called lava.
Because Venus is global warming x1000 the gases caused by the volcanoes and lava flows trap Heat in
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.
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.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can erupt blocky lava flows, basaltic lava flows, or may erupt explosively.
A long crack from which lava flows is called a fissure.
Mercury does not have any active volcanoes. However, its surface shows evidence of ancient volcanic activity in the form of volcanic plains and lava flows.
