A lake can form when a river is blocked by mud and lava from volcanic eruptions or landslides. This blockage creates a natural dam, preventing the river from flowing freely and causing water to accumulate behind it. Over time, this accumulation can lead to the formation of a new lake as the water collects in the enclosed area. Additionally, sediment can build up, further shaping the lake's characteristics.
'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'. Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
The area of Little Lava Lake is 526,091.334912 square meters.
Erta Ale is not itself a lava lake, but it has one in its crater.
Not exactly. Molten rock is called either magma or lava depending on whether it is underground or above ground. When lava flows on the surface like a river or flood it is called a lava flows, but lava is not always flowing downhill. Sometimes it can collect in a pool called a lava lake, or be flung into the air in a lava fountain.
Lava flow.

The possessive form of the noun lava is lava's.Example: The lava's heat could be felt at a great distance.
It is usually around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
A river of lava is called a lava flow. It is a mass of flowing molten rock that moves downhill from a volcano during an eruption.
Lava cools quickly when it comes into contact with water, such as in the ocean or a river, where it can solidify rapidly due to the contrast in temperature. Additionally, lava can cool quickly when it flows over ice or snow-covered terrain, causing it to solidify and form unique lava formations.
extrusive rocks can form from Basaltic Lava and Andesitic Lava. :)
