What happens if you fall in Lava?

Same thing as if you fall in 'love'

Eruptions from Mauna Loa are generally not explosive, so people aren't usually in danger. However, with bad luck, the lava can destroy communities.

Yes, you are harmed. You're not falling 10 feet from the door that you just 'jumped' out of. You've been falling since you left the cliff. The only difference is that when you die, it won't be among the ruins of a demolished house.\n\nBTW, you can't jump from the house in the first place. The house is falling and you are falling with it. Jumping requires standing. You and the house are in free-fall. You may be able to guide yourself along the walls using your hands, much like the astronauts do when in a zero-g environment. It's more likely though that you'll be screaming and soiling yourself.

YADADADAAAA(breaks into song) OHhhhh, lava is hotter than a char-broiled otter and my shoes keep stickin to the fiberglass floor, i heard you're gloomy and bacoming more doomy so i thought id holler atcha pal TRY TO GET OUT MORE!!!Otherwise you are fine. Mabye its that bad coffee or the weiner dog peed on your dress shoes again...the boss is coming for dinner....have fun

volcanoes are built when tectonic plates push together, the way mountains are formed. except volcanoes have magma inside of them. the gas and magma inside are under extreme pressure, and this pressure pushes its way through small cracks in the rock, eventually escaping in an eruption of gas that brings lava with it. a lot of people have been killed by eruptions, but i cant tell you how many. the lava takes weeks or months to cool down unless it hit the water, which will cool it in a matter of days.

Depends on the composition of the magma.\n\nMagma high in silica tends to be thick & gas bubbles are trapped. The gas builds up & boom! Explosion.\n\nBasaltic lava tends to be "soupy" so that the gas bubbles escape. No explosions here.\n\n:)

It's probably better for you to explain to your child that it's not possbile do to the hot magma than to give him/her false information.  But I guess if it were possible, than yes, you would be upsidedown after passing the center.

If your hole is nice and air-conditioned, and you don't have to worry about incinerating in the heat of the Earth's core, then you would free fall until you got near the center, at which time you would gradually slow down due to the gravitational pull of the larger mass behind you. It's the mass of the Earth that holds you down to the ground. If you were in the dead center of it you would feel weightless because the mass would be pulling you in all directions equally. So you are heading for the other side, your velocity slowing until you would come to a stop somewhere near the surface, and then fall back into the hole going the other way, and once again slowing to a stop at the other end, repeatedly falling back and forth until air resistance brought you to a complete stop in the center, just like a swaying pendulum.

I'm not an expert, but just rationally thinking about this would be similar to a pot of boiling water. If something is on top of the convection wave, it is moved away from the centre of the convection current (the hottest part).\n\nLikewise, as the the convection wave moves up and outward and back down to the point of origin, the earth's plates "float" with this motion and because the plates are solid, they have to go someplace when and where they impact. The plate that contains the heavier, or more mass, subducts under the "lighter" plate.\n\nOccasionally, the thin part of a plate will slide over a "hot spot" where the magma "boils" through the plate and forms a volcano - and the rest - - -

okay first you have lava whihc solidifies above or below ground to become extrusive or intrusive igneous respectively and the intrusive having larger crystal sizes since they cool slower then those are wethered away and washed away by water and compacted to become sedimentary this process can also happen to other sedimentary rocks or metamorphic rocks to make them sedimentary rocks then the rocks can be deformed but not melted by heat and pressure the deformation makes them metamorphic rocks again this can happen to any rock to make it a metamorphic one then any rock can be completely melted and resolidified to become igneous\n\nwhew i finally finished... i wonder if anyone will understand that without punctuation...

First, due to the extremely low pressure- 0 pascals - all of the liquids in your body have their boling/freezing points lowered to the same temperature; all of your exposed fluids will boil: tears on eyes, saliva, urine (depending on the person's ability to keep his or her cool). Then, the capillaries around and on your eyeballs and other mucous membranes would rupture, spraying boiling blood into space. After about 20 seconds the normal person would be unconcious, though NASA trains its astronauts to last a full minute. After about 3 minutes you would succumb to suffocation, and you body would drift to space, nearly perfectly preserved, until:\n-It finally reentered Earth's atmosphere (assuming you were in Earth's orbit), where it would vaporize; \n-It hit another space object, such as an asteroid; \n-It is pulled in by another planet. \nIt all really depends on your location.\n\nP.S. contrary to popular belief, you would NOT explode. Your body structure and skin tautness will prevent that; however, you will probably reach a very unsightly level of bloating.

When pressure from magma attempts to reach the surface, and is blocked by a "plug" of rock and other debris formed from earlier eruptions. The magma contains a lot of gas, so this, too, will add to the pressure on the plug, and eventually the pressure will become so great that it must be "relieved", hence causing an eruption (this is the more explosive type). A lesser type, involving lava eruptions, is when magma reaches the surface through breaks (faults, vents or fissures). There are other types of eruptions, like steam eruptions, or geysers (think of Yellowstone and Old Faithful), that can occur with any volcano. These mini eruptions are a result of water seeping into dormant fissures and making contact with magma below the surface. The water is instantly evaporated by the super-hot magma, and steam rises and shoots out from the open vent.

You seem to have been given an assignment for school.\nConvection is motion of material caused by differences in density and is usually caused by differences in temperature.\n\nSo in a lava lamp the radiation of the lamp causes the liquid to heat up and this causes a density change this then leads to a convection current to the top of the lamp where conduction to the cooler part of the glass and radiation from the liquid reduces the temperature again.

You're playing with fire. Better watch out before you get burned.

many things can happen when a volcano erupt. it depends on the kind of eruption of volcano.\n\nMagma contains dissolved toxic gases (sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, etc...) that are released into the atmosphere during eruptions. Volcanic gases affect people, animals and agriculture: SO2 irritates skin and the tissues and mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and throat... sometimes CO2 may become concentrated at levels lethal to people and animals.\n\nEruptions may trigger lahars (a hot or cold mixture of water and rock fragments flowing down the slopes of a volcano) directly by quickly melting snow and ice on a volcano or ejecting water from a crater lake.\n\nIn volcanoes with massive cones landslides may be generated.\n\nVolcanoes erupt lava and everything in the path of an advancing lava flow will be knocked over, surrounded, or buried by lava, or ignited by the extremely hot temperature of lava.\n\nWhen a volcano make an explosive eruption, pyroclastic flows can be generated. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot, dry rock fragments and hot gases that move away from the vent that erupted them at high speeds.

Its actually lava rock. It helps hold heat, and stop the grease from causing large fires under your food.

You probably won't die.  You'll most likely get dehydrated.
