I WONDER - What Is Lava?

Lava is molten rock that emerges from a volcano. It forms when the Earth's crust melts due to intense heat and pressure from tectonic plate movements and rising magma. The composition of lava varies, including types like basalt and granite, depending on the magma and volcano characteristics.

What role do tectonic plates play in the formation of lava?

How does the composition of magma affect the type of lava produced?
