No. The fastest lava flows on earth have been recorded at Mount Nyiragongo in the Congo flowing at 60 mph (100 km/h). In most cases, however, lava flows very slowly. Blocky lava flows are the slowest, moving at speeds comparable to glaciers.

Are all lava flows the same?

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.


What is a secondary vent?

a secondary vent is a vent or tube that connects to the secondary cone for the lava to flow.


Does lava cover the land evenly?

No, lava does not cover the land evenly. The flow of lava can be influenced by topography, viscosity of the lava, and external factors such as wind direction, which can all affect how the lava spreads across the land. This can result in uneven distribution of lava on the landscape.


Do all volcanoes shot out the same lava?

No, not all volcanoes shoot out the same lava. There are four different kinds of lava. 1.) Volcanic 2.) magma 3.) sedimentary 4.) diesel hope this helps!

How fast does lava and ash flow from kilauea?

Lava flows from Kilauea volcano can range in speed from a few meters per hour to more than 35 miles per hour. The speed depends on various factors such as the viscosity of the lava, the slope of the terrain, and the volume and temperature of the erupting magma. Ash from Kilauea can be carried in the plume of gas and steam rising from the volcano and can travel for hundreds of miles depending on wind direction and speed.


How far can you stand from lava without getting burned?

It depends on the speed of the lava flow. You pretty much know that if its flowing fast, then you have to stay away :)It's all about the consistency of the lava.Hope this helped


How fast dose lava flow?

it all depends on the silica content which makes high or low viscosity


Why do scientists need to know the different types of lava flow?

The type of lava flow lets you know the different type of volcano. Not all volcanoes are "explosive". Basalt volcano you can practically stand and watch as it explodes. Where as an andesite volcano you want to be far away. Also the different lava flow lets you know where the melting is occurring. If the flow is high in granitic composition it means the continental crust has melted. If the flow is high in basalt it is a oceanic crust melt.


Do all computers work at the same speed on the internet?

no they not have the same speed


How many caves are formed by erosin?

All except lava-tubes, which result from lava draining from under the solidified crust of a lava flow. Most are in limestone, soluble in water acidified by carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere (chemical weathering).
