Lava flow
Science homeworkWPCMS Adv. Gif. Science
The spread of lava from a volcano varies greatly depending on several factors, including the type of volcano, the viscosity of the lava, and the topography of the surrounding area. In general, lava can spread anywhere from a few meters to several kilometers from a volcano. However, some highly explosive volcanoes can produce pyroclastic flows, which are a mixture of hot gases, ash, and lava fragments that can travel much farther, potentially tens or even hundreds of kilometers.

built up gas and pressure from the lava's heat inside the volcano cause the top to blow off and the lava pours out.
An area covered by lava as it pours from a vent is a lava flow.
Kilauea is made up of lava flows. Lava pours out of the volcano in thin sheets, building up the volcano over time.
When the lava pours out of the volcano not all of it makes it completely down the volcano. Thus some of it stays near the top and the volcano just gets higher and higher.
The stuff that pours out of a volcano is called lava.

Lava and rock explode out of the volcano then lava pours down the volcano covering the land then turning into rock making the volcano bigger.
lava that pours out of the vent and hardens on previous layers of lava ( Hawaiian islands / medicine lake)
Nonexplosive Eruption
Technically, it is not lava until it pours out of the volcano. While it is in the volcano it is still magma. What is not ejected in the form of lava might sink and form a plug, allowing the magma to once again build up in the volcano's magma chamber.
