What else can I help you with?
Does lava turn into a gas?
Lava does not turn directly into a gas. When lava cools and solidifies it can form rocks like basalt or obsidian. However, if the lava contains volatile gases, these can be released as the lava erupts and cools, creating gas emissions.
Is lava flow found on any of the gas giants?
No. Gas giants do not have a solid surface on which lava might flow.
Does balsaltic lava have a high gas content?
Basaltic lava typically has a low gas content compared to other types of lava such as andesitic or rhyolitic. This is because basaltic lava is less viscous, allowing gases to escape more easily, resulting in less gas being trapped within the lava as it erupts.
Is it Obsidian a natural gas?
Obsidian is a type of glassy lava not a gas.
What shoots out of a volcano during an eruption?
It depends on the type of eruption. Some will erupt lava or a mixture of lava and gas. Others will erupt gas, ash, and pumice.
Does gas in lava makes it more or less explosive?
Gas in lava can make it more explosive. When gas bubbles within the lava are trapped and then released during an eruption, it can lead to more violent explosions. The pressure from the gas causes the lava to fragment into smaller pieces, creating explosive eruptions.
What is vesicular lava?
A vesicular lava is a lava with an unusual chemistry and high quantities of dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour present. These degas from the lava as the pressure on the lava reduces, effectively the lava bubbles in a process is similar to making honeycomb (the chocolate type). This leaves vesicules or bubbles in the lava which colls and leaves gaps behind. Vesicular lava with all its viods and bubbles in has been known to float as its density is so low.
What materials come out the volcanoes?
Ash, Gas, and Lava
What else does a volcano release beside gas?
lava
What are the emergency rules in care of fire?
Pumice is formed from volcanoes erupting violently which injects gas into the lava at the moment of eruption. The lava cools before the gas can escape from the lava leaving the small pockets within the cooled rock.
What can the presence of bubbles in extrusive rock tell us about the lava?
The presence of bubbles in extrusive rock indicates that the lava had gas dissolved in it, either due to the release of pressure as the lava reached the surface or from volatile components in the melt. The size and distribution of these bubbles can provide information about the viscosity of the lava and the rapidity of its cooling.
What is the solid form of lava that is so frothy with gas when it reaches the surface?
Pumice is volcanic rock formed from frothy lava. It will usually float on water because of all the gas bubbles in it.
