Lava cant melt rocks.Rocks are the only thing that lava cant melt. (Well, not exactly.)
<><><><><>
Lava is melted rock. It is unlikely that lava alone, without an added heat source, could melt rocks. Its like melting ice - it requires more energy that you think it does to make that final state change. For example, water and ice in mixture at 32 degrees will not melt any further.
The speed of lava flow from a volcano can vary widely, depending on factors such as viscosity, temperature, and slope of the terrain. However, typical speeds range from a few meters per hour to a few kilometers per hour.
Lava flow from shield volcanoes can range from a few meters to several kilometers per hour, depending on the viscosity of the lava. Generally, shield volcano lava flows are known to be relatively slow-moving compared to other types of volcanoes.
Im not sure but I think its not fast but not slow so in the middle
Not usually. Most lava flows move at a fraction of a mile per hour. However, the lava flows of Niyragongo in Africa can move at up to 60 mph.
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
it depends on how steep the slope is.
Lava is slow only, 10 mph at fastest but hot ash can go 200 mph.
Pumice is the result of extremely fast cooling lava.
