No, geysers eject hot water and steam.

Volcanoes eject lava.

If enough water gets into a volcano, the water turns to steam and the volcano becomes an exploding volcano, not a geyser.

What are some examples of lava?

Examples of lava include basaltic lava, andesitic lava, and rhyolitic lava. Basaltic lava is fluid and forms flat landscapes like the Hawaiian Islands, while andesitic lava is stickier and can create steep volcanoes like those in the Andes. Rhyolitic lava is very viscous and can lead to explosive eruptions, forming features like Yellowstone's geysers.


Why do volcanoes shoot up lava?

Volcanoes erupt and shoot up lava due to the buildup of pressure from molten rock, or magma, beneath the Earth's surface. As magma rises, gases dissolved in it expand, creating pressure that forces the magma upward through cracks in the Earth's crust. When the pressure exceeds the strength of the surrounding rock, it results in an explosive eruption or a more effusive flow of lava, depending on the magma's composition and viscosity. This process is driven by geological activity and the movement of tectonic plates.


What is the source of heat for Yellowstone's geysers?

The heat for Yellowstone's geysers comes from magma beneath the Earth's surface. This magma heats up the water in underground reservoirs, creating pockets of steam that eventually erupt through geysers.


When volcano throws lava onto the air called?

When a volcano throws lava into the air, it is called a lava fountain or a lava fountain eruption. This happens when gas bubbles within the lava force it out of the volcano's vent, causing it to shoot upward in a fiery display.

How do you get past the last volcano on Astro Knights Island?

There is no way to get past the volcano except to jump on the lava geyser rocks.If you want to go from the 5th rock on the lava geysers to the 6th rock on the lava geysers, you just have to jump over when both of them are moving down, and the rock will fall right under you. At the top, jump over to the volcano.
