Many will assume that lava is hotter. It may be hard to believe, but fire can generally get hotter. I guess that lava may be seen as wore due to the fact that it can smother.

How are rocks that form from magma and lava different?
They are different because lava is when it hits earth's atmosphere; magma turns to lava. Magma is when its inside the volcano. They are different because of the color: darker/blacker and magma rocks are way hotter. Lava rocks are colder and fragile.
What is the difference in silica content and viscosity between light color and dark colored magma?
The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.
Magma tends to rise toward Earth's surface principally because?
Magma tends to rise towards Earth's surface primarily because rocks become less dense when they melt. The hotter the magma, the more the rocks are likely to "float," if you will.
What is the difference between basalt and rhyolite?
Basaltic magma is hotter, denser, and less viscous than most other types of lava. It is poor in silica and rich in iron and magnesium. Eruptions involving it are typically non explosive or only mildly explosive. Many eruptions will form glowing red rivers of lava that cool to form black rock that sometimes turns red when weathered. Rhyolitic magma is cooler, less dense, and much more viscous than basaltic magma. It is rich in silica, sodium, and potassium. Because of its high gas content eruptions involving it are often highly explosive, producing huge clouds of ash and pumice rather than lava flows. Roks formed from rhyolitic magma are usually light in color.
Is the sun hotter than electricity?
The answer to this question is technically yes, although a bolt of lightning is about five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Does cooler magama flow more or less quickly than hotter magma?
Cooler magma flows slower than hotter magma.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
Does cooler magma flow more or less than hotter magma?
when magma is melted at a higher temp. it'll be more runny so cooler magma will be slower than hotter magma
Does cooler magma flows more or less quickly than hotter magma?
when magma is melted at a higher temp. it'll be more runny so cooler magma will be slower than hotter magma
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Is orange fire hotter than blue fire?
No, blue fire is a lot hotter
When was Hotter Than Fire created?
Hotter Than Fire was created on 2011-11-02.
What causes magma in the sun?
There is no magma in the sun. The sun is much hotter than magma. At the sun's core hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of heat which causes the sun to glow brightly.
Is blue fire hotter than yellow fire?
yep,
Is yellow fire hotter than blue fire?
yep,
Is fire hotter than ice?
fish pellets
Would lava cool quicker than magma?
yes because lava is exposed to the surface while magma is below Earth's suface which would be hotter than the suface
