HELLO GUYS I HAVE A QUICK DEBATE... IS LAVA WET??? PERSONALLY I THINK IT IS BUT THAT IS JUST ME. ANYWAY WHAT GO YOU GUYS THINK?
No.
The eruption temperature of Kīlauea lava is about 1,170 degrees Celsius (2,140 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature of the lava in the tubes is about 1,250 degrees Celsius (2,200 degrees Fahrenheit).
Water boils at 100 degrees and turns to steam.
Hence, no liquid water and no wetness until after it cools.
