LAVA FLOW

In volcanoes, lava emerges through a pipe in the top of the mountain. It destroys all the objects come in its way, during the flow of lava. Sometimes, lava also reaches the surface through long cracks in the ground, called fissures. In 1783, lava spilled out of a 32-km long fissure in Iceland and buried 565 square km of land.
