Are particles in liquid lava moving faster than the particles in hardened lava?

Yes, particles in liquid lava are moving faster because they have more kinetic energy due to the higher temperature. In hardened lava, the particles are in a solid state and have less freedom to move, so their motion is more restricted.


What is the difference between the particles in hardened lava than in liquid lava?

Liquid lava is of 4 types; felsic, intermediaire, mafic and ultramafic. Depending on its composition; it will harden differently. Felsic is high in viscosity thanks to silica, aluminium, potassium, sodium and calcium. Intermediaire is richer in magnesium and iron, thus less viscous. Mafic (or basaltic) is high on iron and magnesium (ferromagnesian), therefore it's thicker. Ultramafic (or ultrabasic) is highly magnesian that makes it low in viscosity but highly mobile, and also when becoming a hardened rock will make an excellent insulator. Liquid lava's mineral composition slighly changes as it hardened, and will keep doing so long time after it is already hardened as the rocks come in contact with other rocks, the mineral composition will keep evolving by losing or gaining other minerals.


Is hardened lava a mineral?

Hardened lava is considered igneous rock, composed of minerals.


How hot is hardened lava?

Hardened lava typically ranges from about 600 to 1200 degrees Celsius (1100 to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the type of lava and cooling conditions.

Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample the particles in a liquid lava sample?

The particles in a hardened lava sample will be solidified and compacted, while the particles in a liquid lava sample will be molten and in a flowing state. The hardened lava particles will have a crystalline structure, whereas the liquid lava particles will lack a fixed arrangement due to their high temperature.

Yes, particles in liquid lava are moving faster because they have more kinetic energy due to the higher temperature. In hardened lava, the particles are in a solid state and have less freedom to move, so their motion is more restricted.
