a plateau
What substance has a large amount of thermal energy?
Molten lava from a volcano has a large amount of thermal energy due to its high temperature.
When a large amount of lava flows out of the fissures onto land the lava can cover a large area and form a plain called?
I don't think it's exactly a plain you're looking for. Magma erupting out of a fissure and spreading over a large area leads to the formation of thick solidified sheets of lava. After later eruptions, more sheets pile up to form extensive, flat topped lava plateaus.
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.
Does the heat move the bubbles up and down in a lava lamp?
Yes, the heat is important in lava lams.
What happens when lava and oil mix?
Lava and oil don't mix, any more than lava and seawater mix. While the lava surface will be cooled slightly by the oil, there is a lot of heat in lava and the oil surface will be heated rapidly, leading to vapourisation and probably burning, as most types of oil are flammable. The outcome will depend on the volumes of the oil and lava, but as there's likely to be a lot more lava than oil, the oil will vapourise and probably burn. Water is much more effective at stopping lava. Water is available in large quantities, it cools lava down and makes it set, while vapourising as steam without pollution. Because of the amount of heat in a lava flow, it would take vast quantities of water sprayed across the face of the lava to stop it, and the resulting wall would be increasingly fragile as it grew higher, as only the surface of the lava would be cooled, not the pool of molten lava behind it.

What happen at volcanic pipe?
i think a lava pipe is where lava seeps out
What is the possessive form of lava?
The possessive form of the noun lava is lava's.Example: The lava's heat could be felt at a great distance.
What is a heat seeking missile?
A heat seeking missile is basically a homing missile, that only searches for heat (there is lava on one side and a computer on the other side. The heat seeking missile will hit the lava because lava is WAY HOTTER than the computer).
What prevents lava from melting a volcano?
There are a few reasons for this. First, the amount of lava on a volcano during an eruption is small compared to the volume of the volcano itself. For a large volcano the effect would be rather like puring a boucket of water on an iceberg. Second, in order to melt, the rock must first be greatly heated up as, compared to the lava, they are freezing cold. All of this heat must be lost by the lava, which cools as a result. In addtion, lava on the surface is also loosing heat to the air. Third, if you look at the temperatures, the lava is actually closer to solidifying than the rock is to melting. The largest mass of molten rock, called magma when it is underground, is usually stored in a magma chamber a few miles beneath the volcano. Some of the surrounding rock may melt and become part of the magma, but this usually does not spread too far as rock is a poor conductor of heat.
