I love learning how things work and what makes things the way they are, so I thought it would be great to learn about what Lava is.
Lava is basically liquid rock that has come to the earths surface and starts to cool. The reason why it is able to flow is because of the high temperature it is at, between about 700°C and 1200°C, and the types of chemicals in it. Certain chemicals in the lava will either make it more runny like water or more thick like honey. The Lava can flow very far before it cools down and becomes rock and I really love pictures of lava flowing because it looks like a river of fire.
