How could you tell if a volcano makes felsite or basalt lava?
Thin lava
What kind of rock does the kilauea volcano make?
Kilauea is made up of lava flows. Lava pours out of the volcano in thin sheets, building up the volcano over time.
Very broad volcano with gentle slopes formed from basalt lava flows.?
it is a shield volcano
Is basalt a volcanic rock?
Yes, basalt is vocanic. Basalt forms when lava reaches the Earth's surface at a volcano or mid ocean ridge. The lava is between 1100 to 1250° C when it gets to the surface. It cools quickly, within a few days or a couple weeks, forming solid rock. Very thick lava flows may take many years to become completely solid.
Which features may occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
Basalt Plateau
Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt?
You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt on the flanks of a volcano, most likely a shield volcano.

How hot is the basalt lava from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii?
2,120 degrees Fahrenheit
Is igneous rocks basalt?
Yes, basalt is an igneous rock. it comes from when the volcano erupts. it is the hardened lava. a main factor is silica.
