One of these wonders includes the Lava River Cave in Flagstaff, which was formed by molten rock that erupted from a volcanic vent near Hart Prairie As the lava flowed from the vent, the outside hardened into a tube-like formation
- Lava - Wikipedia
The solid volcanic rock resulting from subsequent cooling of the molten material is often also called lava A lava flow is an outpouring of lava during an effusive eruption (An explosive eruption, by contrast, produces a mixture of volcanic ash and other fragments called tephra, not lava flows )
- Lava | Types, Composition, Temperature, Facts | Britannica
Lava, magma (molten rock) emerging as a liquid onto Earth’s surface The term ‘lava’ is also used for the solidified rock formed by the cooling of a molten lava flow
- What is lava made of? | Volcano World | Oregon State University
Lava is made up of crystals, volcanic glass, and bubbles (volcanic gases) As magma gets closer to the surface and cools, it begins to crystallize minerals like olivine and form bubbles of volcanic gases
- What is a lava? - The Institute for Environmental Research and Education
Lava is molten rock that has erupted onto the Earth’s surface (or the surface of another planet or moon) This extrusive igneous rock, distinguished from magma (molten rock beneath the surface), solidifies upon cooling, forming various volcanic rock formations
- Magma - National Geographic Society
Magma is extremely hot liquid and semi-liquid rock located under Earth’s surface When magma flows onto Earth’s surface, it is called lava
- Lava Flows - Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
When a volcano erupts, the molten rock that comes out of the Earth is called lava Lava is so hot, it remains molten and flows until it cools and hardens into rock
