Molten material that flows from volcanoes?
lava.
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occurs during an quite eruption?
No. A "quiet" eruption will produce lava flows. Pyroclastic flows generally result from explosive eruptions.
What is the name of how lava flows?
Lava flow
What is Magma that flows onto Earth's surfaces called?
the answer is.....lava :)
Why are volcanoes in Hawaii the least severe?
The volcanoes in Hawaii erupt basaltic lava, which is relatively runny and has a low gas content. As a result the volcanoes usually produce effusive eruptions; fountain or oozing lava but rarely producing explosions. After emerging the lava travels along as fairly slow-moving lava flows. These flows can be destructive, but are easy to escape.
What type of lava erupts from oceanic vents and quickly cools in the water?
That would be the result of a submarine volcano. Pillow lava is a common type of lava that submarine volcanoes produce.
Why are lava flows not deadly?
Lava flows are generally slow moving, giving people time to evacuate. As a result, they do not kill as often as other volcanic hazards such as pyroclastic flows.
What kind of lava flows result from low water and low silica?
thin magma
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
Opening where the lava flows?
the opening where the lava flows is call a vent
Molten material that flows from volcanoes?

What is the name of how lava flows?
Lava flow
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occurs during an quite eruption?
No. A "quiet" eruption will produce lava flows. Pyroclastic flows generally result from explosive eruptions.
Are all lava flows the same?
No. Lava flows vary in composition. Most lava flows consist of basaltic lava, which can flow as smooth phoehoe or form jagged and broken a'a. Other lava flows are more viscous and will have blocky surfaces and tend to be short and thick.
What can stop lava flows?
Lava flows can be stopped or deflected by ridges, valleys and depressions in the ground.
What happens when lava flows reach the sea?
When lava flows reach the sea, the lava rapidy cools to form an igneous rock.
Are lava flows harmful?
Yes. Lava flows can be extremely destructive. Since most lava flows move slowly, though, relatively few people have been killed by them.
