What else can I help you with?
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
What is Magma that flows onto Earth's surfaces called?
Magma that flows onto Earth's surface is called lava.
When mount merapi erupts do they try and stop the lava flow?
No. Recent eruptions of Mount Merapi have produced pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows. Pyrolastic flows are fast-moving currents of hot ash, rock, and gas. There is no way of stopping or deflecting them.
Can you use barriers to stop lava flow?
It is not possible to completely stop lava flow using barriers. However, barriers can be used to redirect the flow or slow it down by creating obstacles in its path. Cooling the lava with water or earth-moving equipment can also help in managing lava flows.
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 is the name of mountain from which the lava flows out?
A volcano is a mountain from which lava flows out during an eruption.
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.
Can a stratovolcano erupt blocky lava?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can erupt blocky lava flows, basaltic lava flows, or may erupt explosively.
A long crack from which lava flows is called a?
A long crack from which lava flows is called a fissure.
What type of lava flows the slowest?
Viscous lava, such as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, flows the slowest due to its high silica content. This type of lava tends to be thicker and more resistant to flow compared to basaltic lava, which is more fluid and flows more quickly.
