Pouring water on lava causes rapid cooling, massive steam production, and potentially explosive reactions (phreatomagmatic explosions), especially if the water is injected quickly into a deep lava flow, creating hazards like volcanic glass (obsidian) and steam clouds, but it can also sometimes be used to slow lava flows, though it's a tricky process.
When the surf splashes onto hot surfaces, the thin layer of water is quickly heated to the boiling point, contributing to the steam plume. The surf disrupts some of the molten lava, breaking it into smaller blobs. Quenched by water, the blobs are broken into even smaller pieces.
Yes, in real life, when lava comes into contact with water, it cools rapidly and can form obsidian, a type of volcanic glass.
The injection of basaltic lava into surface water can be quiescent or highly explosive. Pahoehoe tends to pour into water in a passive manner, sometimes with little interaction beyond the boiling of water. More explosive interactions are generally associated with a'a flows.
In fact there have been 2 cases at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory where a geologist fell into lava. Fortunately in both instances the lava was not very deep and they were able to get out quickly. Both ended up in the hospital and it was a scary and painful experience. Both recovered fine.
Lava would likely burn right through you at 3000°C in seconds. Flesh and bone. It would depend on a few things, such as the viscosity of the lava, what its made of, the temperature of the lava, the speed its dumped, and the amount that is dumped, but there are a few different possibilities.
Generally speaking, while lava is hot enough to melt rock when it is initially erupted from the volcano, it cools quickly and generally doesn't "melt" the rock underneath it. You can get contact metamorphism where the two meet.
Experiments show that an enhancement of the injection velocity of the water leads to more violent explosions. This is obviously due to an enlargement of the mixing region between water and molten lava in the crucible.
Volcanic eruptions release ash and harmful substances into water bodies,result in volcano water that poses risks to human well being. The fine volcanic ash consists of crystalline silica as toxic heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury which easily dissolve in water.
If you were to fall into lava, you wouldn't just sink into it, like in Terminator 2. Molten metal and rock are much more dense than you are. You would end up hitting the surface and probably get a concussion as you bust your head on it, as it burns you. See [https://www.livescience.com/33622-sink-fall- volcano-lava.
Three types of lava flows are common on the sea floor: pillow lava, lobate lava, and sheet lava. Scientists believe the main difference between the shapes of submarine lava results from how fast the lava erupts from deep-sea fissures and how steep the seafloor is that the lava travels over.
Water walk spell specifies you can walk on lava, and the game gives damage for being submerged in lava.
it is true that you can make normal stone with lava and water, but you have to position them the right way. cobblestone is made when flowing lava touches flowing water or water source from the sides. the cobble replaces the flowing lava.

Most magmas contain some solid crystals suspended in the liquid phase. This indicates that the temperature of the magma lies between the solidus, which is defined as the temperature at which the magma completely solidifies, and the liquidus, defined as the temperature at which the magma is completely liquid.
Let's take a fluid lava, a mafic lava in geologic terms. This would be a basalt like you famously have at Hawaii, with classic lava flows. It has a density just a little less than rock so that there is no way you could step onto the surface of a lava lake and go completely under and stay submerged.
“ According to Wikipedia, the temperature of lava is between 700 and 1200 °C (973 to 1473 K). The melting point of Diamond at about 100,000 atm is 4200 K, which is much higher than the temperature of lava. So, it is impossible for lava to melt a diamond.” So I wanted to suggest to make Diamonds Items lava proof.
Yes. Encounters between aircraft and clouds of volcanic ash are a serious concern. Jet engines and other aircraft components are vulnerable to damage by fine, abrasive volcanic ash, which can drift in dangerous concentrations hundreds of miles downwind from an erupting volcano.
Lava flows typically move slowly enough to outrun them, but they will destroy everything in their path.
