The temperatures at different levels of a volcano differ, because of differences in things such as pressure and material. For a reference number the temperatures of some pyroclastic flows have been known to reach 1,200 °C.

∙ 7y agoIf it is not erupting (which is most of the time for most volcanoes), the temperature will be no different from that of an ordinary mountain. Lava flows during eruptions may be as hot as 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, though.

Why do volcanoes get hot?
Volcanoes bring up material from deep within the earth. earth's interior is very hot.
Do volcanoes occur in hot countries?
Some do. Volcanoes can be found in any climate; they are not affected by it.
Where do chains of volcanoes in the oceans and lines of volcanoes on land is that they formed at?
they are fromed at hot spots
How are hot spot volcanoes different from volcanoes in other places?
Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?
Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).
Do you find volcanoes at a hot spot?
Yes, it is not uncommon to find volcanoes at hot spots.
Are shield volcanoes hot spots?
Shield volcanoes are not hot spots but they are associated with them. However, such volcanoes can also form at rift zones.
What do you call volcanoes that aren't on plate boundary edges?
Such volcanoes are hot spot volcanoes.
Why do the volcanoes have to be hot?
because they have to be hot when the lava spils
Why do volcanoes get hot?

What volcanoes are located along divergent boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
How do volcanoes form there?
its a hot spot
What makes volcanoes extreme?
They are hot!
How volcanoes gain more energy?
Volcanoes gain energy from the hot magma inside it
What volcanoes are located are located along plate boundaries?
Which volcanoes are located at hot spots
Where do shield volcanoes form?
at hot spots(a place where volcanoes are very active)
Do volcanoes occur in hot countries?
Some do. Volcanoes can be found in any climate; they are not affected by it.
