it all depends on whether or not there even is lava coming out of the volcano and what is in the vacinity. somethings like certain rocks will not melt. a town of people will though.
This is a silly question...No! Magma (not lava) can melt (not burn) and include some material sorrounding it but could never melt an entire volcano as it would cool down and become solid in doing so.
NO, it erupts because of the build-up of pressure in the magma containment. When the pressure becomes so strong that there is no other way to release it, the lava rushes up and blows off the top of the volcano.
Lava is incredibly hot (usually between 700°C and 1,200°C), but it doesn’t melt everything in the world. While it can easily melt materials like plastic, wood, and many types of rock, some materials, like tungsten (which melts at around 3,400°C) and certain ceramics, can withstand lava’s heat without melting. So while lava can destroy most things it touches, there are a few substances that it won’t melt.
rocks near the mantle melt and become magma, the volcano launches this magma and it opens a new layer of rock to melt

The heat of the lava would melt the brick, therefore destroy the building
lava is formed when rocks melt
The earth's crust can melt under extreme conditions, such as intense heat from volcanic activity. This can lead to the formation of magma which can eventually erupt onto the surface as lava.
The speed of a volcanic eruption can vary greatly depending on the type of volcano and the specific circumstances. Some volcanoes can erupt explosively, sending ash, gas, and rock fragments high into the air at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour, while others may have slower, more effusive eruptions where lava flows steadily from the vent. Eruptions can last anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks or even longer.
You can use a microwaveable glass measuring cup to melt red or orange candy melts, then pour the melted candy into a volcano-shaped mold to create a lava effect. Once the candy hardens, it will resemble lava cascading down the sides of the volcano mold.
The amount of lava erupted from a volcano is tiny compared to the amount of rock in earth's crust, and it quickly looses its heat to air and sometimes water. Trying to melt the earth with the amount of lava that volcanoes erupt would be like trying to melt an iceberg with a drop of water. The superheated rock of the mantle is under enormous pressure, which keeps it from melting.
Gold does not melt from the lava of a volcano because the temperature required to melt gold (1,064 degrees Celsius) is higher than the temperature of most lava (700-1,200 degrees Celsius). Gold is not formed in volcanic eruptions but is typically found in veins within the Earth's crust.
