∙ 9y agoYes. Lava is close to the same density as the rock it cools to form.

What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
How thick is the lava from a cinder volcano?
The thickness of lava is generally dependent on the eruption rate of the volcano. The flow rate of lava is measured by the lava's viscosity. Highly viscous lava does not flow well or travel great distances. Low viscosity lava can flow for great distances.
What is vesicular lava?
A vesicular lava is a lava with an unusual chemistry and high quantities of dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour present. These degas from the lava as the pressure on the lava reduces, effectively the lava bubbles in a process is similar to making honeycomb (the chocolate type). This leaves vesicules or bubbles in the lava which colls and leaves gaps behind. Vesicular lava with all its viods and bubbles in has been known to float as its density is so low.
Are pumice stones and lava rock comparable?
Not all lava rock is pumice. Lava rock is a term used synonymously with pumice by some material suppliers. Actually though, any rock formed from cooling lava would be considered a 'lava' rock and would include rocks like pumice, obsidian, and basalt. Only lava has a density less than that of water, allowing it to float.
Does lava have large or small crystals?
Rocks formed from lava (known as extrusive igneous rocks, because the lava comes to the surface) can be any size - large or small. However, the density of the rock and the size of the crystals making up the rock is informative. Less "thick" (viscous) lava will produce higher-density rocks. The more silicon is contained in the lava/rocks, the thicker it will be. Thinner lava contains more iron and less silicon. The faster a lava cools, the smaller the crystals in the rock will be. By using crystal size in minerals, geologists can determine how fast the lava cooled, which helps to determine the type of eruption and the surface conditions when it occurred.

Does a lava lamp deal with density?
No, it deals with lava
Examples of natural changes in density?
-When water is frozen it turns to ice and the density (weight) increases - The density of a molten lava increases as it cools and hardens - Also, sometimes the density of water in either state a solid or a liquid stays the same with water, when it's not really cold
What are three physical properties of lava?
melting point boiling point density
Describe how the mantle is like a lava lamp what does density have to do with this?
well its like magma

Does temperature affect the speed of lava?
Yes, because the hotter lava gets, the easier it can flow. The reduced density of hot lava, plus reduced hardening of the leading edge, means that it will travel much more rapidly than cooler, thicker lava.

What is the Conclusion of a homemade lava lamp?
the homemade lava lamp is a mixture of oil and water as oil and water are insoluble in each other . we choose oil and water because they both have very same density .
