Is it safe to swim in lava?
Haha, seriously? :) Well, it would definitely be hazardous to your health for about a millisecond and then it wouldn't matter any more because you would be dead. XD I would suggest starting your swimming lessons in a local swimming pool. :)
Swimming with sharks is fun. I have swum and dived with sharks. They are very impressive creatures. But I am totally against shark feeding, as that is seriously not good for them, as of course they’ll come to rely on the feeding.Swimming in lava is impossible. It’s generally too dense (with the possible exception of some gas-infused lava - in theory, as this would lower its density, possibly… I’m not a lavologist) and you’d simply end up lying on the surface of the lava, gently frying. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Would you swim in a pool of acid of a pool of lava?
Acids aren't hot they are corrosive. It depends on how strong they are, in other words how many hydrogen ions are present. They would give you chemical burns. Lava's are typically between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius when they get to the surface. Which would be enough to kill a human very quickly indeed. If I had to choose between lava or acid, then i would choose the lava, but that's just because i'm a geology student and falling into a volcano would be a cooler way to die.
Why do my fish swim in lava pools?
Here's a few problems with this question: If the fish tank broke, so would your windows, doors and other glass. If the lava was close enough to your house that your fish landed in it, you would be dead (considering you were outside) Also, if this happened, you wouldn't be worrying about your fish swimming in lava. I rest my case.
Can you swim in lava with a fireproof suit?
Hell Yeahhh!!!! If it is made of Iridium like that $100,000 razor their peddling (Zafirro Iridium razor)
I feel like this is a troll question, and I apologize if I am wrong about this. I will still answer this however. Lava is magma (molten rock) that has been expelled from a volcano or a fissure. When first released, lava is 700 to 1,200 °C (1,292 to 2,192 °F)! It cools down afterwords, but by then, it’s solidifying. So there’s three big points here:Any fish dropped into magma would completely burn up. End of story. RIP Fishy.When the lava has cooled to temperatures in which fish can survive in, the lava would have mostly solidified.Where’s the oxygen at?Hope that clarifies things a bit. Peace!
If lava was room temperature, it would be solid rock. You could not swim in it. In fact, even if you were made of heat - resistant material such that you could safely touch or be surrounded by lava at its normal temperature, you would still not be able to swim in it. Lava is molten ROCK and it is very nearly as dense as solid rock even when it is melted.Movies where people fall IN to lava are fiction.
Since it's very dense (it's molten rock), you wouldn't sink very deep into it. Even in the dead sea it's near impossible to swim, because of its high salinity it is more dense than normal sea water, and as a result you float on the surface.Density of water = 1000kg / m3Sea water = 1020 kg/m3Dead sea water = 1240 kg /m3The density of average human body is 985 kg/m3Density of lava = 3100kg/m3So just taking the approximation that the human body is about 1/3 density of lava, that means your body would sink no more than 1/3 of it's volume into the lava.On top of that lava is much much more viscous than water. Think swimming on the surface of very thick mud, but harder. Stick to crawling if you want to get that intimate, but I would prefer to run across - it's probably viscous enough that you could run across the surface before your feet have a chance to sink in.
Lava vs liquid nitrogen who would win?
The liquid nitrogen would cause the lava to crystallize and the lava would cause the liquid nitrogen to evaporate. There would probably be more lava though...so lava I guess?
Currently, not. Lava is molten rock, at a temperature of 700–2000°C. Just how hot is that? Enough to vaporize your skin nearly immediately upon contact.Current materials are not suitable to withstand such a high temperature. Yes, materials like Tungsten(W), Titanium(Ti) have melting points of 3422°C and 1668°C respectively. However, ever heard of metals being good conductors? This means that within 10 seconds or less getting into lava with a 15 cm thick suit, you're going to get burnt way beyond repair.If memory serves me right, there's is a compound, tantalum hafnium carbide, built to withstand 4000°C temperatures, but there is no telling how expensive the compound is ($9000 per kg), and also is quite thermally conductive. From what I know, poor conductors of heat will protect you from the heat for 5 seconds, catch fire, and you will die, while good conductors will turn into a blast furnace that serves as your coffin as you slowly carbonize inside.TL;DR: it's possible if you wanna die a quick excruciating death while simultaneously spending ur entire fortune.
