CAUTION: never place lava lamp in a microwave.
Why does the lava from the lava lamp go up and down?
The movement of the lava in a lava lamp is caused by heat from the light bulb at the base of the lamp, which warms the wax, making it less dense and causing it to rise. As the wax rises, it cools and becomes denser, causing it to sink back down. This cycle of heating and cooling creates the mesmerizing flow of the lava lamp.
What size bulb does a lava lamp use?

The lava in a lava lamp rises and falls due to changes in temperature. If the lamp is not warm enough, the lava may not heat up sufficiently to flow downward. Ensure the lamp is placed in a warm area and allow some time for the lava to heat up and flow naturally.
What is a living example of a lava lamp?
