    Tips

    June 2, 2024

    Pillow lava is formed during volcanic eruptions underwater. Because the surface of a lava flow that is exposed to the water cools very quickly, a solidified layer is formed on the more or less liquid lava flow that slows down the lava. Because the lava flow wants to flow upwards under that increasingly thickened solidified layer, a fresh supply of lava is created. This results in the nodular appearance of the igneous rock.
