Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Does granitic lava come out of a cinder cone volcano?
No. Cinder cones erupr basaltic and occasionally andesitic lava. "Granitic" lava, called rhyolitic when it is erupted, erupts primarily from composite volcanoes (also called stratovolcanoes), and some caldera volcanoes.
How is basaltic lava different from granitic lava?
Basaltic lava is far less viscous, has less silica, erupts at a higher temperature and is denser than granitic lava (properly called rhyolitic lava when it is on the surface). Basaltic lava is composed primarily of pyroxenes and calcium rich plagioclase with small amounts of olivine. Rhyolitic lava primarily contains alkali feldspars and quartz.
What kind of lava does a lava volcano have?
The textbook answer would be granitic or rhyolitic lava. In reality composite volcanoes are highly variable, erupting the full range from basaltic to rhyolitic (granitic) materal and everything in between includin andesite and dacite. One composite volcano in Africa erupts unique carbonatite lava.
What kind of magma does Yellowstone have?
The magma is primarily granitic/rhyolitic, but there are occasional basaltic lava flows.
What are volanoes?
volcanoes are mountthat explode lava
What are vollcanos?
Volcanos are creators that explode with lava
Would a volcano flow lava then explode?
Not usually. It is more common for a volcano to erupt explosively and later extrude gas-depleted lava. That being said, lava domes can sometimes explode.
Do cars explode in lava?
Strange question! If caught in molten lava they will certainly catch fire, and yes the tyres and petrol tank could well explode.
Can lava rocks explode and pose a danger to people nearby?
Yes, lava rocks can explode due to trapped gases and water vapor, posing a danger to people nearby.
Which is volcanic lava rock basaltic or granitic?
The most common type of lava is basaltic. However some lavas may be andesitic or ryolitic. Rhyolite is the extrustive equivalent of granite.
What happens if you put a lava lamp in the microwave?
The lamp will explode.
