lava
lava Molten rock, normally a silicate, which is expelled by a volcano. Its behaviour on extrusion and its relief-forming capacity depend largely on its viscosity, which is affected by its silica content, temperature, and the amount of dissolved gases and solids it contains. Generally, the less viscous the lava the faster the flow, and the more viscous the lava the greater the tendency towards explosive eruption.
