No lava is not liquid fire. Lava rock that has been heated to the point of melting. In other words, lava is to rock as water is to ice. Fire is a chemical reaction between some flammable substance and oxygen.

What is the density of lava?

Liquid lava would have less density than its solidified counterpart.


Why is magma hotter than lava?

Magma is hotter than lava because magma is located beneath the Earth's surface where it is exposed to higher temperatures and pressures compared to lava, which is magma that reaches the surface. As magma rises to the surface and cools, it loses some of its heat energy, resulting in the lower temperature of lava.


How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?

Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava are types of basaltic lava that form during submarine volcanic eruptions. They both have smooth, ropy surfaces, caused by the flow of lava, and are relatively low in viscosity.


Why do the bottle filled with water do not melt when kept in fire?

Because the temperature of water can't normally go beyond 100 degree Celsius , because that is the temperature of boiling water. When we keep any bottle with water on fire, heat transmits from bottle to water and since the temperature of bottle and water should be almost same, the temperature of bottle does not go far beyond 100 degree Celsius. And since the melting point of the bottle(plastic) are in general above 100 degree Celcius they don't melt.


What is the difference between lava flow lava fountains and lava tubes?

A lava flow is basically a stream of lava on the surface. A lava tube is an underground cave through which lava flows downhill. A lava fountain is lava shooting into the air out of a volcano in much the same manner as a water fountain.

How are shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes somewhat same?

Both erupt basaltic lava, which has a low silica content and a high temperature.


Is the outside of a volcano hot?

Not usually. Normally the outside of a volcano is the same temperature as an ordinary mountain of the same height. It will be hot, however, if there is an active lava flow or newly deposited hot ash on it.


Do all substances catch fire on same temperature. Give reasons?

No, different substances have different ignition temperatures. This is because the ignition temperature is the specific temperature at which a substance will ignite and start burning. Factors such as chemical composition, molecular structure, and presence of impurities determine the ignition temperature of a substance.

Which is hottest lava or sun?

It depends on what is burning. While lava can be as hot as 2200 F, some flames can be much hotter, such as 3600 F or more, while a candle flame can be as low as 1800 F.It would depend. Lava is hotter than a typical wood or coal-buring fire, but some flames, such as that of an acetylene torch, is hotter than lava.
