The liquid that flows out of a volcano is called ________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Lava
Lava is the molten rock expelled by a volcano during an
eruption. A lava flow is a moving/outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive
effusive eruption. When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous
rock. The term lava flow is commonly shortened to lava. Although lava can be up
to 100,000 times more viscous than water, lava can flow great distances before
cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning
properties.
