When the ratio of the gases becomes more in magma it causes the magma to disintegrate into pyroclasts, a combination of partially molten and solid fragments, and the volcano erupts explosively. chamber that is already brimming with magma of similar or different compositions.
Lava flow during a rift eruption at Krafla, Iceland in 1984. Lava is the molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption and the resulting rock after solidification and cooling. This molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites. The source of the heat that melts the rock within the earth is geothermal energy. When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 to 1,200 Â°C (1,292 to 2,192 Â°F). Up to 100,000 times as viscous as water, lava can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning properties.
