Lava is far hotter. Steam from a geyser is close to the boiling point of water, which is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level and lower at higher elevations. Lava is far hotter as the material as the melting points are well above the boiling point of lava. The coolest lava in the world, the unique carbonatite lava that erupts from the volcano Ol Doinyo Legnai in Africa, is at a temperature of about 900 to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The most common type of lava is bsalatic lava, which is 2,000 to 2,200 degrees.

Can geysers shoot up lava?
No, geysers eject hot water and steam. Volcanoes eject lava. If enough water gets into a volcano, the water turns to steam and the volcano becomes an exploding volcano, not a geyser.
What is the difference between a volcano and a geyser?
A volcano shoots lava, rocks, dust and gases out where as a geyser shoots out hot water from extreme pressure.
Are hot springs that are forced through small openings in the Earth's crust geysers?
Generally, a geyser erupts as would a volcano, but instead of lava and ash, a geyser sprays hot water, sulfuric acid and steam. I wouldn't call a hot spring a geyser, but they are certainly related.
Why steam forms when lava falls into ocean?
Because the lava is so hot is heats the ocean water to the gas state (steam).
What is a opening in the Earth's surface to which steam and ashes and lava are forced out?
a volcanoVolcano

How do you get on the sixth lava geyser on poptropica?
Jump from the fourth lava geyser.
What is an opening in the earth's surface through which steam ashes and lava are forced out?
A volcano is an opening in the earth's surface through which steam, ashes, and lava are forced out.
What is that hot thing from a volcano?
Hot things from a volcano are lava (molten rock), hot ash. steam, and toxic gasses.
How do you get past the last volcano on Astro Knights Island?
There is no way to get past the volcano except to jump on the lava geyser rocks.If you want to go from the 5th rock on the lava geysers to the 6th rock on the lava geysers, you just have to jump over when both of them are moving down, and the rock will fall right under you. At the top, jump over to the volcano.
How a shield volcano is formed?
shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows or low viscosity lava that flows easily...
Is a vent at the top of a volcano?
If the volcano is active, there may be vents around the volcano as well as on top. A vent is where volcanic material (lava, steam, ash) is being released.
What are some examples of substances that changes state as they become hotter?
Water-steam Ice-water Rock-lava
Why steam forms when lava falls into ocean?
Because the lava is so hot is heats the ocean water to the gas state (steam).
What is the opening called in the earths crust called through which lava gases and other pieces of rock erupt?
A volcano is the opening called in the earths crust called through which lava gases and other pieces of rock erupt.
