Lava flow

The lava flows on the surface in liquid form and forms solid rock accumulation after cooling
Lava flow is liquid on the surface flow Of Lava The solid rock accumulation formed by the cooling of lava flow is sometimes called lava flow. The temperature of lava flowing in liquid state lava flow is usually between 900 ° C and 1200 ° C. If there is more gas in lava, it can flow at lower temperature. Acidic lava is viscous and flows not far away. Large area lava flows are often basic lava. When the temperature is high and the slope is steep, the flow velocity of lava flow can reach 65km per hour. The shape of lava flow depends on many aspects, such as lava composition( basalt Andesite Dacite Rhyolite )、 flow terrain And environment, etc. [1]

interpretation

edit
Lava flowing on the ground in liquid form. Its temperature is usually between 900 ℃ and 1200 ℃. If there is more gas in the lava, even lower temperatures can flow. Acid lava Sticky, not far flowing, even blocked in the crater; Basic lava has strong mobility. When the lava source is sufficient and the terrain is suitable, it will spread widely and far. [2]

Formation and characteristics

edit
Lava flowing along the earth's surface as liquid from the crater and fissure. The apparent slope and Magma The degree of lava flow varies. Some lava flows are long and narrow belts, and some are broad and gentle tongues (see figure). The temperature of newly ejected lava rarely exceeds the melting point, which is between 900 ℃ and 1200 ℃ according to its composition and gas volume. When the gas content in lava is high, it can flow before cooling to 700 ℃. The basic lava has low viscosity and high fluidity. The flow rate depends on the slope, up to 45~65 km/h, generally 15 km/h. The acid lava is viscous, flows not far, and even chokes in the crater. When the lava cools and condenses, or the gas is exhausted and becomes foamy, its viscosity increases and its movement slows down. The solidified lava forms a special shape on the surface, most commonly on land Rope lava and Massive lava , and in water Pillow lava Etc. [3]
Lava flow refers to the lava flowing from the crater, which is formed in non explosive eruption or explosive eruption lava fountain Where lava flows go, they are completely destroyed, but in most cases, people have a certain time to stay away from them because of their slow flow rate.

Flow rate determinants

edit
The speed of lava flow depends on the following points:
1. Eruption lava type and its viscosity;
2. It flows through Ground slope
3. Topographic environment of lava flow;
4. Spill speed of fire port, etc.

Seafloor lava flow:
Japan's administrative independent legal person marine research and development institution is located in the east the pacific ocean The largest seafloor lava has been found on the seafloor, which is located at 14 degrees south latitude and 112 degrees west longitude, with an area of 340 square kilometers.
The lava discovered this time not only rewrites the record of submarine lava flow, but also discovers the classical Plate tectonic theory Undocumented East Pacific submarine uplift, the most active plate forming uplift on the earth volcanic activity Such a large-scale lava flow is an important factor to change the surface environment of the earth, and has received great attention from scientists. From the analysis of the scale and shape of lava flow, it may be that huge heat and volcanoes erupted in the ocean in a short period of about 10 years Gas Caused by.
2022 On October 31, the world's first 1:2.5 million lunar rock type distribution map led by Shandong University was released. This figure Including 5 types of lunar sea basalt (including 923 lava flow units in total) [4]
