What else can I help you with?
Does Mount St Helens lava flow violently or quietly?
Lava can't flow violently. Highly explosive eruptions such as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens do not produce lava flows: they produce clouds of ash, gas, and pumice. Mount St. Helens has produced "quiet" lava flows at times.
Besides volcanos where else does lava flow from?
Nowhere. If lava is pouring out of a natural hole or vent, that hole is by definition either a volcano or part of one.
What 3 factors affect the formation of lava?
Composition, heat, and pressure.
What is the Flow of magma through the earths surface called?
I believe the answer you may be looking for is either Lava or a Volcano
Can water flow uphill?
Water can flow up hill if there is some sort of machine that is able to pull it. Water does not naturally flow up hill it always flows downstream due to gravity.
How does the shape of a volcano affect the flow of lava?
SGV
How does temperature affect how well magma will flow?
It affects the rate of flow of the lava. Hotter means faster flow
Does temperature affect the speed of lava?
Yes, because the hotter lava gets, the easier it can flow. The reduced density of hot lava, plus reduced hardening of the leading edge, means that it will travel much more rapidly than cooler, thicker lava.
How does the temperature of lava affect how far the lava will flow?
The temperature of lava affects its viscosity, or how easily it flows. Hotter lava has lower viscosity and can flow more easily, often traveling further than cooler, more viscous lava. Cooler lava tends to be more sluggish and may not flow as far before solidifying.
What is lava movement?
Lava movement refers to the flow of molten rock on the Earth's surface, typically during a volcanic eruption. The movement of lava can vary in speed, from slow-moving oozing flows to fast-moving streams of molten rock. Lava flow direction is influenced by topography, gravity, and the viscosity of the lava.
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
What is lava and how does it flow?
Lava flows because it is a liquid; it is rock that has been heated to above its melting point. As a viscous liquid it flows downhill under the influence of gravity like syrup across a tilted plate.
How does gravity and slope affect a river?
Gravity makes higher and lower water flow which makes it deaper or shallower.
How does heat affect lava flow?
Heat effects the flow rate of lava because the hotter the lava is, the less viscous it is which allows it to flow faster than if it had a slow flow rate. If it has a low temperature, then the flow rate will be much slower because it has a high viscosity.
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.
What affects the speed of lava flows?
The temperature and the silica content will both affect the viscosity of lave which will in turn affect the flow rate (whereby the lower the temperature and the higher the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lower the flow rate).
Does lava cover the land evenly?
No, lava does not cover the land evenly. The flow of lava can be influenced by topography, viscosity of the lava, and external factors such as wind direction, which can all affect how the lava spreads across the land. This can result in uneven distribution of lava on the landscape.
