What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
How thick is the lava from a cinder volcano?
The thickness of lava is generally dependent on the eruption rate of the volcano. The flow rate of lava is measured by the lava's viscosity. Highly viscous lava does not flow well or travel great distances. Low viscosity lava can flow for great distances.
Why does lave in a lava lamp move slower then the water around it?
The lava in a lava lamp moves slower because it is denser than the surrounding water. Due to differences in temperature and density, the heated wax (lava) rises to the top of the lamp, cools down, and then sinks back to the bottom. This creates the slow, mesmerizing movement you see in a lava lamp.
What is vesicular lava?
A vesicular lava is a lava with an unusual chemistry and high quantities of dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour present. These degas from the lava as the pressure on the lava reduces, effectively the lava bubbles in a process is similar to making honeycomb (the chocolate type). This leaves vesicules or bubbles in the lava which colls and leaves gaps behind. Vesicular lava with all its viods and bubbles in has been known to float as its density is so low.
What area is a lava lamp in biology chemistry physics or earth?
A lava lamp is a study in physics. The lamp functions on density and that density or mass as it is called, changes with the addition of heat to the container. When heat is applied the substance that floats changes to lighter mass and begins to rise. When it reaches the top where it is cooler, it gets dense and sinks.
What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
Describe how the mantle is like a lava lamp what does density have to do with this?
well its like magma
What are three physical properties of lava?
melting point boiling point density
How thick is the lava from a cinder volcano?

Does a lava lamp deal with density?
Yes, a lava lamp works on the principle of density. The lava lamp has two liquids of different densities (wax and water) that are heated by a light source at the base. As the wax heats up and becomes less dense than the water, it rises towards the top of the lamp. When the wax cools down and becomes denser, it sinks back down.
Does titanium float on lava?
No, titanium does not float on lava. Lava is molten rock, which is much denser than titanium. When titanium comes in contact with lava, it would sink or be engulfed by the molten rock due to the difference in density.
Can lava rocks be light in weight?
The weight of a sample of lava can be very heavy (dense), or it can be porous, such as pumice. The rock itself is heavier than water, but if there are trapped air spaces with the rock, the average density can be less than that of water (it could float).
How a lava lamp works in terms of density?
A lava lamp works based on the principle of density. The waxy substance in the lamp is denser than the liquid surrounding it, causing it to rise when heated by the lamp at the base. As it reaches the top, the waxy substance cools down, becomes denser, and sinks back down, creating the mesmerizing lava lamp effect.
What type of energy does a lava lamp produce?
A lava lamp does not produce energy; it uses a combination of heat from the lamp bulb to warm the wax and density differences to create the mesmerizing lava lamp effect.
Examples of natural changes in density?
-When water is frozen it turns to ice and the density (weight) increases - The density of a molten lava increases as it cools and hardens - Also, sometimes the density of water in either state a solid or a liquid stays the same with water, when it's not really cold
Why does lave in a lava lamp move slower then the water around it?
The lava in a lava lamp moves slower because it is denser than the surrounding water. Due to differences in temperature and density, the heated wax (lava) rises to the top of the lamp, cools down, and then sinks back to the bottom. This creates the slow, mesmerizing movement you see in a lava lamp.
Why is the lava at the top of lamp?
The lava lamp's lamp at the top is because the heat source at the base causes the lava to heat up and rise to the top due to its lower density. As the lava cools down, it sinks back towards the base, completing the cycle.
