Kilauea,I feel sorry to the trees.You have seen the real face of earth.......... If the covering flat stones disappear, what will be the result.Formarly we thaught more than 60 percentof earth is water. Now we realising that the 80 percent of earth is lava.......In this earth we are living. The gratest wonder is this, think so......................antoji an India based inventor.
@ReconUnitZero The basaltic lava in Hawaii has some iron, aluminum, and magnesium oxides but in concentrations too low to separate economically. It is mainly used as a building material for roads and construction. Pure sulfur may crystallize in some vents, but also in very small quantities to have economic value.
@Hectikmania lava has a very thick skin and is very dense so it takes some effort to push a stick into it. Then you have to twirl the stick to grab a glob because the lava won't stick to it.
@jugs554433 Steel melts at 3000 degrees F and lava is only 2000 degrees, so steel cans and other steel objects like sign posts, appliances, cars, etc survive or just buried by the lava flows. Aluminum melts at around 1200 degrees, so aluminum cans go up like matchsticks and disappear mainly because they are so thin.
How hot is lava? and is there anyway that you can like Contain the Lava Hot in like a ok not a Box but something like it? or would the thing you contain it in just melt?
@Marbel1995 The lava in Hawaii is about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. It may be different in other volcanoes depending on its chemical composition. Lava at this temperature is very close to becoming solid and it will quickly harden if cooled below this temperature. Any "box" used to contain lava in a liquid state would have to be kept hotter than 2000 degrees. There are many materials that melt above 2000 degrees. Steel will melt at about 3000 degrees F.
@eduardodc3 New lava just out of the earth contains many gases. Some, like water vapor or carbon dioxide are odorless, but gases which have sulfur components have distinctive odors similar to lighting a match or firecracker or the familiar rotten egg smell. However, by the time the lava reaches the ocean about seven miles away, most of the gases have escaped and the lava is almost odorless. Many different odors are produced when it burns vegetation, asphalt, etc, or reacts with sea water.
This is amazing! Is there any way for a "tourist" to see this? Like a private tour? I'm just so fascinated by this! Every time I've been to the viewing area(only a few) it's been a disappointment.. especially compared to this! Thanks for sharing!
@dirtydan36 Some local residents give private tours. Ask the vendors in the viewing area to refer you to one or check the travel section of the Big Island on Craigslist. Forest flows are rare because there is not much vegetation left in that area.
@TonyEtna1987 It is very slow because this area is very flat and the lava is spread out over many miles. You can see the flow map by going to the USGS link, then eruption update, then maps.
@modemeyes It's difficult to say right now. When the lava was in remote areas, I was one of a few who would/could hike there. Now that it is in a residential area, there are thousands of people trying to get a closer look and it is causing problems to the residents. Time will tell.

@Isellboxes185 Most lava in Hawaii becomes basalt rock.

@Isellboxes185 it become Obsidian only if it gets cooled rapidly in water

@Cheesetoon The advancing lava had already set the forest on fire a few days before so there was very little left to burn.

Have you tried prodding the lava? What happens if you do? So curious!
