The Lava Creek Tuff covers an area of more than 7,500 km 2 (2,900 sq mi) centered around the caldera and has an estimated magma volume of 1,000 km 3 (240 cu mi). The fallout from the eruption blanketed much of North America, depositing as one of the most widespread air-fall pyroclastic layers, formerly known as the Pearlette type O ash bed in ...
Aerial view of a lava lake in Pu’u ’Ō’ō crater, east rift zone of Kīlauea. The crater is about 820 ft (250 m) in diameter. Aerial view of a lava lake atop the Kūpaʻianahā vent on the east rift zone of Kīlauea volcano. Lava lakes are large volumes of molten lava, usually basaltic, contained in a volcanic vent, crater, or broad ...
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 ...
Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc that consists of lava flows, debris flows, and pyroclastic ejecta and flows. Its early volcanic deposits are estimated at more than 840,000 years old and are part of the Lily Formation (about 2.9 million to 840,000 years ago).
The Mount Edziza volcanic complex (/ ə d ˈ z aɪ z ə / əd-ZY-zə; abbreviated MEVC) is a group of volcanoes and associated lava flows in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.. Located on the Tahltan Highland, it is 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of Telegraph Creek and 85 km (53 mi) southwest of Dease
These spots are thought to represent lava freshly released by volcanic eruptions. [ 65 ] [ 66 ] The actual temperatures are not known, because the size of the hot spots could not be measured, but are likely to have been in the 800–1,100 K (527–827 °C; 980–1,520 °F) range, relative to a normal temperature of 740 K (467 °C; 872 °F).

The Kings Bowl and Wapi lava fields, both about 2,200 years old, are part of the National Preserve. This lava field is the largest of several large beds of lava that erupted from the 53-mile (85 km) south-east to north-west trending Great Rift volcanic zone, [10] a line of weakness in the Earth's crust.
