Lava oozes out of a volcano primarily due to its low viscosity, which is influenced by its chemical composition and temperature. Basaltic magma, with its high temperature and low silica content, flows more easily, allowing it to escape from the volcano gradually. Additionally, the pressure buildup within the magma chamber can cause the magma to rise slowly, resulting in effusive eruptions where lava flows rather than explodes. This contrasts with more viscous magmas, which tend to trap gas and build pressure, leading to explosive eruptions.
What else can I help you with?
Do some volcanoes actually ooze?
Yes, some volcanoes can indeed ooze lava, especially those with low viscosity magma which flows more smoothly. This type of lava often results in slow, continuous flows rather than explosive eruptions. Volcanoes like Hawaii's Kilauea are known for this type of oozing lava activity.
How would you describe lava?
Lava is molten rock that erupts from a volcano onto the Earth's surface. It is extremely hot, reaching temperatures between 1,300 and 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, and can flow rapidly or ooze slowly depending on its viscosity. As it cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock.
What are large cracks that can allow melted rock to ooze out in a lava flow?
Large cracks in a lava flow where melted rock can ooze out are known as fissures. Fissures can result from the pressure buildup of magma beneath the surface, causing it to find weak points in the Earth's crust to escape from. These openings can lead to the formation of lava flows and volcanic eruptions.
How strong is a volcano?
Volcanic eruptions can be incredibly powerful, with the largest eruptions reaching explosive strengths equivalent to thousands of atomic bombs. The strength of a volcano is typically measured by the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which considers factors such as volume of erupted material, height of the eruption column, and duration of the eruption. Ultimately, the power of a volcano can vary significantly depending on its size, eruption style, and magma composition.
How are stratovolcanoes different from shield volcanoes?
Strato volcanoes and shield volcanoes are different because of their shape and also because of the may they erupt. Strato volcanoes have steep slopes, shaped like a tall narrow cone.. when a strato volcano erupts vast amounts of gasses such as sulphur dioxide, water and dust are thrown up into the atmosphere. This can cause global warming and pretty sunsets, magma obviously comes out too ( the magma in strato volcanoes is very thick ) . These eruptions are very violent, they can blow up to half of the volcano away leaving a massive crater in the middle of it. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes, shaped like a low wide cone ( or a shield -hence the name ) when a strato volcano erupts lava fountains can form as hot liquid lava is thrown into the air but these are not usually very high. The lava that comes from shield volcanoes is very runny ( unlike strato volcanoes ) so red hot rivers of lava run down the sides of the volcano. i hope that answered your question. :)

Why doesn't a volcano mountain explode everyday if the lava is always hot?
There are several reasons. First, there isn't always magma (what lava is called when it is underground). The magma is usually trapped far below the volcano, unless the volcano is erupting or about to erupt. Second, heat alone cannot create an explosion. An explosion requires rapid expansion. Explosive volcanic eruptions occur when gas trapped in the magma is suddenly released as pressure on the magma decreases, or when water flash boils on contact with lava or magma. If there is no gas, and no water, there cannot be an explosive eruption. Third, the kinds of magma most likely to cause explosive eruptions are very viscous, meaning they do not flow very easily. As a result, they tend to get "stuck." Finally, the poper term is "erupt" not "explode" as not all eruptions are explosive. If there is not enough gas the volcano will ooze out lava rather than causing an explosion.
What is the collective noun for lava?
There is no standard collective noun for the noun 'lava'.Collective nouns are an informal part of language, any noun that suits the context can function as a collective noun; for example, a flow of lava or an ooze of lava.

Is Ivan Ooze in any other Power Rangers episode or just the movie?
No, Ivan Ooze is only in the movie.
What can allow melted rock ooze out in a lava flow?
magma is less dense than the surrounding rock, so it is forced upward to the earth's surface
Does ingrown hair ooze?
It would ooze if you meant that it releases puss then yes but just a watery puss. also it hurts alot so.

Are all volcanoes the same or are there different kinds of volcanoes?
There are indeed different types of volcano, and even among these, no two volcanoes are exactly alike. For most intents and purposes there are three main types of volcano. Shield volcanoes are large, with broad, gentle slopes made of cooled lava flows. These volcanoes usually fountain or ooze lava, rarely erupting in an explosive manner. The volcanoes of Hawaii and shield volcanoes. Cinder cones are repetitively small and steep-sided, made primarily of cooled chunks of lava called scoria that were ejected into the air. Such volcanoes usually erupt in a somewhat explosive manner. Notable cincer cones include Sunset Crater and Paricutin. Stratovolcanoes, also called composite, are generally quite tall with steep slopes composed of layers of lava flows, cinders, and ash. Stratovolcanoes are highly variable in how they erupt. Sometimes they gently ooze lava, but they are best know for their large, explosive eruptions of ash and pumice. Notable stratovolcanoes include Mount St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius.
How did the volcano affect the landscape and the atmosphere?
volcano is the natural phenomenon whereby molten rocks come out on the earth's surface. some time magma escapes out onto the surface, for various reasons.the magma is is now called lava. when, it ooze out it forms volcanic mountains and destroys settlements and forests as well, which bring change on earth's surface. similarly, it also make the environment and atmosphere polluted through it's smoke and other materials.
