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.
Hypnotizing to look at. Even though it's just a still picture.
Hey @madiba.. The pictures look absolutely stunning 😱😇😊.. Here are few more facts that might interest people who would like to know a little more about LAVA.
Lava is also called magma, that is before it touches the surface of earth.
Magma is made up of a lot of elements but the major elements that formulate the composition of magma are glass, silica, rocks, crystals, oxygen, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, sodium, potassium etc..
Also, varieties of Lava can be majorly bucket edges into 3 i.e. Rhyolitic, Basaltic & Andesitic.

Hexxusssss!!!
haha lava is awesome! :) Interesting about the chemicals that make the lava thick or runny, I'll have to have a further look into that, didn't know that...
I always found volcanos interesting. As a child we were always making volcano models for science projects.
Just glad I don't live near one and forced to escape if it got out of control.
Nature is beautiful but can be very dangerous. Enjoy the first while avoiding the second is the balance....
I also found volcanoes interesting and it would be really nice to see a volcano erupt, but like you said, it would be very dangerous.
Simply Amazing!!
wow amazing never knew that lava had high temperatures,
great thing to learn.
for real?
Really stunning pics ! Thanks for the article !
Nice shots, lava color lit.

Thanks

Thank you very much
Nice picture!
I went to the Etna volcano to see the lava, but unfortunately I did not get up to the summit to see it.
That is unfortunate. I hope you will be able to go see it one day.
Omg that looks amazing, love it!
If were going to apply its resemblance to life, the more hot or alive a person is, the more it will continue to flow. The moment it stops flowing, it implicates that it ended its warm.
That is a good way of looking at it, thank you for that.
nice shot, amazing!
these pictures are amazing that's a nice view thanks a lt for sharing it and keep on posting ;)
The pictures are absolutely amazing! I love it!
There are still a lot of unknown info to know about lava. Google it to know some interesting posts about it
hot magma
The ground is LAVA :-) ,..... jump
Wow. Nature is just gorgeous. Love this photo. So amazing! 😍
WOAH! How cool! I've actually seen a volcano errupt! We saw from our house! And it was an amazing view! But was also scary haha! And, I was proposed on a volcano!
That is pretty amazing and I am sue it is something you will never forget. Were you able to get any pictures?
Of the erruption? My sister @gringlicious actually posted about it on Steemit https://steemit.com/photography/@gringalicious/volcano-erupting-pictures-of-la-erupcion-de-volcan-calbuco-life-in-chile-series-no-3
Awesome pics!
It is amazing to think that we have a giant ball of fire beneath us.
I visited Timanfaya (the volcano natural park in Lanzarote, Spain) a few years back. I had never seen such a strange landscape. Black beaches, black earth with scarce vegetation.... it felt like being on another planet. Amazing...
That is pretty cool. Are the volcanoes there active?
No, they are extinct, really worth seeing if you get the opportunity!
Great lava pictures! Lava and volcanoes are definitely interesting. :)
There are so many interesting things in the world, fabolous! If u like check also my blog about travel and nature, greetings from Poland!
