Abstract. By virtue of their extreme heat, and their ability to surround and bury, as well as to force structural failure, lava flows present an extreme hazard to communities in their path.Here the focus is on hazards associated with the ingress of basaltic lava into vulnerable areas.bstract. By virtue of their extreme heat, and their ability to surround and bury, as well as to force structural failure, lava flows present an extreme hazard to communities in their path.
Short-term prediction of volcanic eruptions involves monitoring the volcano to determine when magma is approaching the surface and monitoring for precursor events that often signal a forthcoming eruption. 1  Earthquakes-As magma moves toward the surface it usually deforms and fractures rock to generate earthquakes. Lava flows are produced on the surface, and these run like liquids down slope, along the lowest areas they can find. 2  If the magma emerges along a fracture, it results in a fissure eruption, often called a curtain of fire. 3  Lava flows produced by eruptions under water are called pillow lavas.
