No lava is not liquid fire. Lava rock that has been heated to the point of melting. In other words, lava is to rock as water is to ice. Fire is a chemical reaction between some flammable substance and oxygen.

Why is magma hotter than lava?
Lava is magma that is erupted onto Earth's surface. The temperature is essentially the same, except for the cooling that may occur after eruption.
How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
How does molten lava change into a solid?
It cools down and essentially freezes as the temperature drops below the meltng point.
Why do the bottle filled with water do not melt when kept in fire?
Because the temperature of water can't normally go beyond 100 degree Celsius , because that is the temperature of boiling water. When we keep any bottle with water on fire, heat transmits from bottle to water and since the temperature of bottle and water should be almost same, the temperature of bottle does not go far beyond 100 degree Celsius. And since the melting point of the bottle(plastic) are in general above 100 degree Celcius they don't melt.
Why is magma stiffer than lava?
There is mostly no diffenerence in lava or magma they are pretty the same thing.
Do glass rocks get hotter than lava rocks in a fire pit?
No. They will reach the same temperature.
Why is magma hotter than lava?
Lava is magma that is erupted onto Earth's surface. The temperature is essentially the same, except for the cooling that may occur after eruption.
Do all substances catch fire on same temperature. Give reasons?
All substances does not Catch fire at the same temperature. More volatile substances -like solvents - Catch fire at a lot lower temperatures than more stable substance.
How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
What is the tepature in earths mantel?
The temperature of the Inner Core of the earth is about 5700 deg C. The outer core, and the mantle both have a similar temperature. This is about the same as the surface of the sun. That is why very hot lava is yellow - that indicates its temperature.
How are shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes somewhat same?
Both erupt basaltic lava, which has a low silica content and a high temperature.
Is the outside of a volcano hot?
Not usually. Normally the outside of a volcano is the same temperature as an ordinary mountain of the same height. It will be hot, however, if there is an active lava flow or newly deposited hot ash on it.
How does molten lava change into a solid?
It cools down and essentially freezes as the temperature drops below the meltng point.
What is Mars lava color?
Lava om Mars is the same color as on Earth.
What do you get when breed a lava and fire in DragonVale?
Try it out yourself, don't be as lazy and or crazy as the person who thought Twilight came before Harry Potter. Unless you are the same person...
Which is hottest lava or sun?
It depends on what is burning. While lava can be as hot as 2200 F, some flames can be much hotter, such as 3600 F or more, while a candle flame can be as low as 1800 F.It would depend. Lava is hotter than a typical wood or coal-buring fire, but some flames, such as that of an acetylene torch, is hotter than lava.
Why is magma stiffer than lava?
There is mostly no diffenerence in lava or magma they are pretty the same thing.
