What risks to human life does lava pose?

Lava can easily burn us, and if the lava stream is powerful enough, can knock us off of our feet and burn our bodies to the bone. Lava, if given enough time, can burn right to the bone, which is a huge risk to pose on human life.


Can lava burn through bones?

Different rocks have different melting/burning temperatures. So it depends on how hot the lava is (it cools slowly over time once it reaches the surface from a volcano) and what kind of stone it is in contact with. For example, limestone is destroyed at a lower temperature than granite.

How come lava doesn't burn Igneous rocks?

Ignoues rock is not flammable, therefore it does not burn. In order to melt the igneous rock, the lava must transfer an enormous amount of heat to it. However, lava will quickly lose heat to its surroundings and will generally cool before it can do this.
