What is the lava pillow?
Lava pillow gets its name from the way it looks - like pillows. These lava formations are usually formed as large, fat, arched shapes on the bottom of the ocean. Almost all pillow lava formations can only be observed on the bottom of the ocean, because the ocean is the only place on Earth that provides them with the right conditions. Volcanic activity does not only occur on dry soil, but also occurs underwater. The combination of heat from magma and freezing temperatures on the bottom of the ocean creates an environment of extremes. These contradictory conditions, when they are forced to interact, create a lava pillow.
The country is made up of hundreds of boards that move and push each other. The cracks between these boards often offer an ideal place for magma to make the bubble on the surface of the bark. The pressure is sometimes placed under these boards and is released by cracks in the form of gases, followed by molten rock. When the overheating of the ocean DNA is established, it will solidify almost immediately.
Although lava creates a relatively hard bark when it emerges underwater, the magma behind it is still powered by cracks. Instead of breaking the bark created by lava, magma usually pushes the bark out to form a bubble -shaped formation. The longer the pressure is built under the formation, the larger the bubble. Underwater explorers often observe extensive fields of these formations, everything connects on the edges. Explorers call this lava phenomenon phenomenon because it looks like a field covered with round Ottoman style pillows.
underwater volcanoes usually do not produce a lava pillow because the magma rises to the top of the cone in large quantities and has a little time to expand before cooling. This more often leads to the creation of young islands or underwater Mountain Ranges. The lava pillow almost always occurs in flat fields.
Sometimes the pressure under the field of stiff lava becomes so large that some bubbles open. The result usually looks like a snowman,Because Magma creates bubbles of descending sizes stacked on top of each other. When this activity continues for a long time, the field of Lava pillows will look a bit like a cave full of stalagmite. Generally, the pressure can only create formations that rise just a short distance from the ocean bottom. The lava pillow usually does not develop on volcanoes or small islands.
