What else can I help you with?
What is Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
Does lava cool quickly and form minerals with small crystals?
Yes. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to form. If the lava cools slowly and has a low viscosity, atoms are able to move around more and form larger crystals.
What is the earth magma?
it's lava but in it's liquid form. A common misconception between magma and lava is lava is solid and magma is liquid hot.
When large amount lava flows out of fissures onto land the lava can cover a large area and form a plain called?
Plateau
Why is it bad when hot lava meets the cold ocean water?
This is what I read from another question, answered by ID0410848064: When hot lava meets the cooler temperatures of the ocean, an instantaneous cooling reaction takes place within the hot lava causing the minerals to form and crystallize quickly, usually of a different chemical and molecular composition if it were allowed to cool gradually at the earth's surface. Also, the hot lava may take on saline water from the ocean, therefore altering the overall mineral composition. Hope this helped :)
What happens to lava when it enters the ocean?
On contact with water lava will cool rapidly to form rock.
What form when lava cool so quickly that crystals cannot form?
When lava cools extremely fast it forms volcanic glass, better known as obsidian. This often occurs when lava hits water.
What is the possessive form of lava?
The possessive form of the noun lava is lava's.Example: The lava's heat could be felt at a great distance.
Does the lava that forms shield volcanoes probably have a lot of silica or water in it?
No. Shield volcanoes form from basaltic lava with a low silica content and a low water content.
How do rocks from lava form?
When a volcano erupts the lava usually reaches water and when they collide it turns into obsidian (I know because of minecraft).
Why doesn't water cool the lava?
Water does cool lava, but not instantly. For one thing, lava is a poor conductor of heat, so when lava erupts underwater the outside cools fairly quickly to form solid crust, but the inside remains molten. Second, the water in contact with the lava or crust (which is still quite hot) boils and forms an insulating layer of steam.
What kind of volcano form from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Explosive stratovolcanoes form from lava that is higher in water and silica content than the lava that forms shield volcanoes. The high viscosity of this type of lava traps gases, leading to explosive eruptions that can eject ash, rock fragments, and lava at high speeds. This creates steep-sided volcanic cones with alternating layers of ash, lava, and volcanic rocks.
All of the following are ways in which sedimentary rocks form execpt?
lava cooling
What happens if you mix lava and water together in Minecraft?
When water meets a lava 'block', the lava is converted into an obsidian block. If water meets 'flowing' lava then the lava is turned into cobblestone.
How are the water cycle and a lava lamp alike?
The water cycle involves water evaporating up, forming condensation, and going back down. A lava lamp involves water moving up, staying for a second, and falling down, however in blob form.
How extrusive rocks form?
extrusive rocks can form from Basaltic Lava and Andesitic Lava. :)
What do valcanoes form?
