In some cases, a lava plateau may be part of a single volcano. An example is the massive Level Mountain shield volcano in northern British Columbia , Canada , which covers an area of 1,800 km 2 (690 sq mi) and a volume of 860 km 3 (210 cu mi).
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 ...
In 2007, Platform Computing (now part of IBM) released Platform Lava 1.0, which is a simplified version of Platform LSF 4.2 code, licensed under GNU General Public License v2. Platform Lava had no additional releases after v1.0 and was discontinued in 2011. In June 2011, OpenLava 1.0 code was committed to GitHub. [4]
The course of the molten lava flow between its source (right) and the sea (left), seen by Copernicus on 1 October. The lava flow into the sea created a new lava delta, [54] or fajana. [55] As of 30 September 2021, this was 20 hectares (49 acres) in size and continuing to grow. [54] It was 27.7 hectares (68 acres) by 2 October.
The eutaxitic texture represents a hot vapour-phase emplacement of the fragmented volcanic materials on the Earth's surface. [37] Flow bands are present in massive, uniform felsic lava flow units. [36] When the viscous lava flow encounters a surface, friction drags the mobile lava and forms internal banding. [36]
The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. It is related to the larger eruption of Kīlauea that began on January 3, 1983, though some volcanologists and USGS scientists have discussed whether to classify it as a new eruption. [2]
