No. It generally will glow red. Basaltic lava may have a black crust on it and cools into black rock. More felsic lavas may be gray on the surface. Komatiite lava, which has not erupted since the Precambrian Time would have glowed red or yellow when it erupted and then may have taken on a greenish tint when it cooled into rock.

Lava can appear green due to the presence of minerals like olivine, which contains iron and magnesium. When these minerals are present in the lava, they can give it a green tint. The color of lava can also be influenced by temperature and oxidation states of the elements present.

What was the original color of lava soap?
The original color of Lava soap was red. It was known for its distinct reddish-brown color.
What forms as result of lava that has cooled at the top of a volcano?
When lava cools at the top of a volcano, it forms igneous rocks such as basalt or andesite. These rocks can sometimes create formations like lava domes or hardened lava flows.
Would a volcano flow lava then explode?
Not usually. It is more common for a volcano to erupt explosively and later extrude gas-depleted lava. That being said, lava domes can sometimes explode.
Do cinder cones produce lava flows?
Yes. Although its typical eruptions produce simple lava flows, there have been cases where water came in contact with magma, triggering explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows.
Did onyx originate from lava?
Onyx is a type of mineral formed from the deposition of calcium carbonate in caves. It is not directly formed from lava but can sometimes be found in lava tubes or caverns where it is deposited by water flowing through the rock.
Is a lava lamp similar to a volcano?
Sometimes it can be the colours (red or orange) but its mostly the wax is meant to look like lava hence lava lamp.

Is molten rock and lava flow the same thing?
Not exactly. Molten rock is called either magma or lava depending on whether it is underground or above ground. When lava flows on the surface like a river or flood it is called a lava flows, but lava is not always flowing downhill. Sometimes it can collect in a pool called a lava lake, or be flung into the air in a lava fountain.

What is destroying the homes in Hawaii?
On the Big Island, it's sometimes lava. Since 1989, Mauna Kea volcano has been erupting pretty continuously, and the lava flow down the hillside has sometimes overrun residential neighborhoods. Fortunately, the lava is fairly dense and slow-moving, so there has been time to pack up and move out of the way. Sometimes, the "pack up" has been fairly significant; entire houses have been jacked up and moved away, and a historic church that was in the path of the lava was similarly lifted off of its foundations and carried out of the lava flow.
Why do you think a volcano is sometimes referred to as a mountain of fire?
Because the lava that erupts is that hot!
What color are Louis Tomlinson eyes?
Louis has sea green eyes, which sometimes appears to have a hint of blue.
