If lava is to hot in a volcano can it burn the volcano down?
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.
Does lava erupt because of the heat?
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.
Does lava melt everything in the world?
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.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes that erupt?
rocks near the mantle melt and become magma, the volcano launches this magma and it opens a new layer of rock to melt

What sort of damage does a volcano cause on a building?
The heat of the lava would melt the brick, therefore destroy the building
How does lava form the things that are not part of the island but instead lava makes it appear when it meets the ocean?
lava is formed when rocks melt
Could the earth crust 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.
How fast does a volcano erupt?
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.
Kitchen item Use to make lava in a volcano mold?
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.
Why does lava not burn a volcano?
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.
Can gold be melt from the lava of a volcano?
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.
