What else can I help you with?
How is bedrock different from subsoil?
Bedrock is rock and lava whereas subsoil just contains plants and dirt
What type of rock contains lava or magma?
The type of rock that contains lava or magma is an igneous rock.
Is silicon in lava?
Yes. Most lava contains plenty of silicon dioxide.
What does the lava damages?
the plants that sorounds it
Is lava useful?
Lava, when decomposed into soil, helps plants including crops grow.
How does lava that contains a greater amount of silica flow?
Lava that contains a greater amount of silica will flow slower and more sluggishly. The silica affects the viscosity of the lava making it thicker and therefore moving at a slower pace.
What are runny and sticky lava?
Runny lava contains low amounts of silicon, whereas sticky lava contains high amounts of silicon.
Why is it called a lava lamp?
It is called a lava lamp because of its resemblance to flowing lava. The lamp contains wax or oil that moves in a mesmerizing way, similar to the slow movement of lava.
Can plants grow near lava?
If they were not killed when the lava was molten, yes. Of course once the lava is solid they can grow ON the lava. However until the lava rock has begun to decompose into soil it is usually hard for the plants to get enough water. Either the lava rock is impervious to water and it all runs off or the lava rock is so porous that water all drains away through it.
What does lava contain?
Lava is primarily composed of molten rock, which mainly consists of minerals like silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, iron oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and sodium oxide. It may also contain dissolved gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide.
What chemicals from the volcano in the lava cause the plants to die?
.ash.steam.sulphur
How does the quartz in the lava effect it and how it erupts?
If lava contains quartz that means the silica content is high. A high silica content makes lava more viscous, and gives it the tendency to erupt explosively.
