Volcanoes
Let's try to stay far away from that hot lava. The lava is flowing very quickly.
A mountain made of lava and ash is typically a volcanic mountain, formed from the accumulation of hardened lava flows and volcanic ash during volcanic eruptions. Over time, repeated eruptions can build up the mountain's height and shape. Examples of such mountains include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Fuji in Japan.
A long crack from which lava flows is called a fissure.
Mauna Loa is a mountain in Hawaii that is made of volcanic stone. The mountain continues to grow as lava is added to its lava fields.
Lava flows end when the magma chamber feeding the eruption becomes depleted of molten rock, causing the lava supply to the surface to cease. The exact timing of when lava flows end can vary depending on factors such as the volume of magma, viscosity of the lava, and the duration of the eruption.
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
The molten rock that flows from a volcano is called lava.
the opening where the lava flows is call a vent
The process by which lava flows is called volcanic eruption. Lava is molten rock that erupts onto the Earth's surface from a volcano, typically flowing downhill due to its high temperature and low viscosity.
Magma that flows onto Earth's surface is called lava.

No. Lava flows vary in composition. Most lava flows consist of basaltic lava, which can flow as smooth phoehoe or form jagged and broken a'a. Other lava flows are more viscous and will have blocky surfaces and tend to be short and thick.
Pillow lava got its name because of its distinctive pillow-like shapes that form when lava flows underwater and cools rapidly. As the outer layer of lava cools and solidifies quickly upon contact with water, it forms a rounded mound resembling a pillow. This unique shape is characteristic of lava flows in underwater volcanic environments.
Lava flows can be stopped or deflected by ridges, valleys and depressions in the ground.

When lava flows reach the sea, the lava rapidy cools to form an igneous rock.
Yes. Lava flows can be extremely destructive. Since most lava flows move slowly, though, relatively few people have been killed by them.
