What else can I help you with?
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
Would a lava flow be considered an extrusion?
Yes, a lava flow is a type of volcanic extrusion where molten rock, or magma, reaches the Earth's surface and flows out as lava. This can result in the formation of volcanic landforms such as lava fields, lava plateaus, and lava domes.
In what ways was the flowing lava model similar to the actual flow of lava on Earth?
The flowing lava model was similar to the actual flow of lava on Earth in terms of its movement and behavior, as it demonstrated how lava flows and spreads out in a similar manner to real volcanic eruptions.
What is an opening in the Earth's Surface through which lava can flow?
An opening in the Earth's surface through which lava can flow is called a volcano. When pressure builds up beneath the Earth's crust, it can force magma to erupt through a vent in the form of lava, gases, and ash.
Is lava the magma flow out onto Earth's surface?
yes
If a lava flow at Earth's surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely turn into upon solidification?
It would form into the rock basalt, an extrusive, mafic, igneous rock.
Can you use barriers to stop lava flow?
It is not possible to completely stop lava flow using barriers. However, barriers can be used to redirect the flow or slow it down by creating obstacles in its path. Cooling the lava with water or earth-moving equipment can also help in managing lava flows.
How has volcanoes shaped the earth in the past?
its lava flow has hardend creating mountains.
What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
If you were trying to run away from a lava flow which type of lava would be the easiest for you to successfully run away from?
A'a Lava.
What does AA mean in terms of Earth Science?
AA: jagged chunks of lava formed by rapid cooling on the surface of a lava flow
How thick is the lava from a cinder volcano?
The thickness of lava is generally dependent on the eruption rate of the volcano. The flow rate of lava is measured by the lava's viscosity. Highly viscous lava does not flow well or travel great distances. Low viscosity lava can flow for great distances.
