Does lava melt everything in the world?
Lava is incredibly hot (usually between 700°C and 1,200°C), but it doesn’t melt everything in the world. While it can easily melt materials like plastic, wood, and many types of rock, some materials, like tungsten (which melts at around 3,400°C) and certain ceramics, can withstand lava’s heat without melting. So while lava can destroy most things it touches, there are a few substances that it won’t melt.
Can lava melt rock in the mountain?
Underground molten rock, called magma, does melt some of the surrounding rock.
Can magma melt iron?
Yes, magma can melt iron. Magma is composed of molten rock, which can reach temperatures high enough to melt iron, which has a melting point of about 1538 degrees Celsius. When iron-bearing materials are exposed to high enough temperatures in the Earth's mantle or during volcanic activity, they can melt and become part of the magma.
What can't lava burn?
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.
Why doesn't lava melt the rock around it if it lava usually melts rock?
It takes quite a lot of heat to melt rock, and whatever is melting that rock must loose heat in the process. When molten rock comes out of a volcano, it is closer, in terms of temperature to solidifying than the surrounding rock is to melting. So the lava will cool and harden before the surrounding rock has a chance to melt, especially since the lava is also losing heat to the air. In some cases the surface rock may melt, but in fairly small amounts.

If lava is to hot in a volcano can it burn the volcano down?
This is a silly question...No! Magma (not lava) can melt (not burn) and include some material sorrounding it but could never melt an entire volcano as it would cool down and become solid in doing so.

What are some things that you can melt that are not metal?
ice ice cream popsicles
Do all things melt?
Not all things melt. Melting occurs when a solid is heated to a point where it changes to a liquid state. There are some substances that do not melt easily or at typical temperatures, such as diamonds and certain types of minerals.
Liquid into a solid?
Called freezing, or in the case of lava and some other things, solidifying.
Can the tectonic plates move rapidly?
They cant unless there was some random intense heating of the entire planet. As tectonic plates move because of the heating by the lava the lava would have to heat up intensely.
What are some negative things on dress code?
you cant express yourself. And you cant be different and unique
Why is the earth full of lava?
The Earth's interior is hot due to radioactive decay and leftover heat from its formation. This heat causes some of the Earth's mantle to melt and form magma, which occasionally erupts onto the surface as lava through volcanic activity.
