Scientists can often find clues about past eruptions by studying the deposits left behind. Areas affected by lava flows, debris flows, tephra, or pyroclastic flows can be mapped, making disaster planning more effective. In addition to this type of long-range forecasting, scientists are becoming more and more skilled at spotting the warning signs of an eruption.

What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Lava is molten rock at earth's surface, whether it is in a lava flow, a lava pool, or a lava dome. A lava flow is lava that is actively flowing downhill.
Is dike a type of lava flow?
No, a dike is not a type of Lava flow.
When do scientists predict mount vesuvius will erupt again?
Scientists cannot predict when a volcano will next erupt.
What is the name of how lava flows?
Lava flow
Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?
Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.

Lava flow
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.
What is lava flow made out of?
A lava flow consists of extremely hot molten rock.
Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?
Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
How long till scientists predict worldwide that coal reserves will last?
Scientists predict that it will last 155 years.
What is a river of hot lava called?
Lava flow.
What type of lava does Arenal have?
blocky lava flow
