It depends on your definition of the word 'wet'. After all, lava is a liquid, and does contain some water.
Lava is liquid rock, it is thick liquid and very hot. It is not wet in any way.
Lava can burn most materials it comes into contact with, but there are some things that can resist its heat, such as certain types of metals like steel or ceramics designed for high temperatures. Additionally, large bodies of water or very wet materials can sometimes cool down and solidify the lava before it can burn them.
Lava cools as anything else does; it loses heat to cooler surroundings. As it cools its atoms and ions slow down and are eventually locked in place by bonds with neighboring atoms an ions. The lava is essentially freezing.
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
Hot magma outside a volcano is called lava. Lava is molten rock that flows out of a volcano during an eruption.
Yes, lava rocks can get wet and still maintain their properties and appearance.
Lava is liquid rock, it is thick liquid and very hot. It is not wet in any way.
Melting of wet basalt can produce volcanic eruptions, where molten lava is ejected onto the Earth's surface. This process can create new land forms like volcanic islands or lava plateaus. It can also lead to the formation of new minerals as the lava cools and solidifies.

The lava flows in Hawaii do set vegetation on fire. But the wet climate of Hawaii means that, unlike semiarid places such as California, the plants usually have plenty of water in them, which makes it hard for fires to spread.
Lava cools as anything else does; it loses heat to cooler surroundings. As it cools its atoms and ions slow down and are eventually locked in place by bonds with neighboring atoms an ions. The lava is essentially freezing.
Magma does not dry. Drying implies that the magma becomes solid by loss of water. In reality it becomes solid due to a drop in temperature. So, in reality it freezes. When magma solidifies it becomes intrusive igneous rock.
Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
Hot magma outside a volcano is called lava. Lava is molten rock that flows out of a volcano during an eruption.
Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.
