    How is real lava very dangerous? Would real lava make you very scared and/or very stressed?

    Top Answerer
    Real lava is liquid rock, and is at temperatures over 1000 degrees. In addition, it emits various toxic gases, so it would make you very scared AND very stressed, and in short order it would make you very dead.

    How much time will it take to make a lava lamp?
    Community Answer
    It should take about 10 minutes for your lamp to set up. After the lamp is set up, you shouldn't have to do anything else; although you might have to shake the lamp to have the "lava" move around.

  • Question
    Is lava as dangerous as fire? Why doesn't the lava melt the plastic bag?
    Community Answer
    The lava they showed you here is fake so it won’t melt the bag, but real lava can. Real lava can melt everything.
