We all know lava comes out when a volcano erupts.
Molten Lava is always hot.
Then what is this cold lava ??
Unlike the fiery rivers of molten lava that erupt during volcanic eruption, cold lava is a blend of volcanic material, debris and water.
It behaves more like a fast moving landslide.
This phenomenon occurs when water interacts with volcanic ash and debris on the slopes of a volcano.
It creates a dense mixture that flows downhill with surprising speed and destructive power.
Cold lava remains hot internally but its external appearance and behaviour are more like a wet concrete.
