Examples of 'basaltic lava' in a sentence

Meaning of "basaltic lava"

Basaltic lava refers to a type of lava that is typically dark in color and is rich in iron and magnesium. It has a low viscosity, meaning it flows easily, and can form various volcanic landforms such as basalt plateaus and lava tubes. Basaltic lava is commonly found in shield volcanoes and is known for its rapid cooling and solidification
