Lava flow is hot flowing lava that goes on for miles and destroys everything in its way.well,almost everything.
It is actually masses of molten rock that can pour from a volcano during an eruption. It bulldoses practically everything in its path!

∙ 9y agoA lava volcano is a vent or hole in the ground through which molten rock, called lava, erupts. "Lava volcano" is not a technical term, but it makes an important distinction, as not all volcanic eruptions produce lava.

∙ 10y agoA lava lake is a pool of lava that can sometimes be found in a volcanic crater. The lava may convect and bubble, but does not fountain into the air. A lava fountain is a jet of lava is ejected up into the air, often reaching heights of hundreds to thousands of feet.

What is the difference between lava flow lava fountains and lava tubes?
A lava flow is basically a stream of lava on the surface. A lava tube is an underground cave through which lava flows downhill. A lava fountain is lava shooting into the air out of a volcano in much the same manner as a water fountain.
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 is it called when magma erupts onto the surface of the volcano?
lava
What is hot magma outside a volcano called?
This is known as lava.
Molten material that flows from volcanoes?
lava.

How do you get a lava glove on Animal Jam easy?

What is the fastest lava can travel?
IT is travelling at its fastest when it gushes out of a vent to form a lava fountain.
What kind of eruption is a Lava fountain?
Lava fountains can be associated with Strombolian and occasionally Hawaiian eruptions.
Is molten rock and lava flow the same thing?
Not exactly. Molten rock is called either magma or lava depending on whether it is underground or above ground. When lava flows on the surface like a river or flood it is called a lava flows, but lava is not always flowing downhill. Sometimes it can collect in a pool called a lava lake, or be flung into the air in a lava fountain.
Are geysers volcanoes?
No, geysers send up fountain like jets of water and steam. Volcanoes erupt lava.
Are hot gases the only material that can come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes also fountain lava into the air and may produce lava flows as activity is coming to an end.
Info on shield volcanoes?
Shield volcanes erupt runny lava, which normally has high temperature, low silica levels, and low gas levels. In some cases, the lava can have high gas levels, which creates a fire fountain. This is when the lava shoots up from the vent in the volcano creating a fountain-like figure. These volcanoes are wide, and have sloping sides because runny lava cannot easily build up. Hawaii is entirely made up of shield vocanoes.
How does a cindercone form?
Cindercones, or scoria cones, are formed when pieces of scoria from a lava fountain gradually build up, resulting in a cone. If the magma has enough gas bubbles in it, the gass will expand and raise the lava. This will produce lava out of a vent, resulting in the scoria cone.
