The word lava comes from Italian and is probably derived from the Latin word labes, which means a fall or slide. [2] [3] An early use of the word in connection with extrusion of magma from below the surface is found in a short account of the 1737 eruption of Vesuvius, written by Francesco Serao, who described "a flow of fiery lava" as an analogy to the flow of water and mud down the flanks of ...
Hot Lava is a parkour adventure video game, played from a first-person perspective. In the game, the player controls the character as they jump, leap, wall run, and swing from object to object. [3] Some of the objects include tables, couches, and chairs. [4] Over time, the player unlocks various new athletic abilities, including double jumps.
Augustine Volcano (Alaska) during its eruptive phase on January 24, 2006. A volcano is commonly defined as a vent or fissure in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Thursday, the meteorological office said, spraying red-hot lava and smoke in its sixth outbreak since December. The total length ...
Fumaroles may occur along tiny cracks, along long fissures, or in chaotic clusters or fields. They also occur on the surface of lava flows and pyroclastic flows. [11] A fumarole field is an area of thermal springs and gas vents where shallow magma or hot igneous rocks release gases or interact with groundwater. [12]

A stream of steaming lava later spread across the exit road from the spa. No flight disruptions were reported at nearby Keflavik, Iceland’s main airport, but hot water was cut off, airport ...
An example of this activity is the Ilgachuz Range in British Columbia, which was created by an early complex series of trachyte and rhyolite eruptions, and late extrusion of a sequence of basaltic lava flows. [12] The hotspot hypothesis is now closely linked to the mantle plume hypothesis.
