1 Lava is molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. 2  A lava flow is a (moving) outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive effusive eruption. 3  When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock.The composition of a lava determines its behavior more than the temperature of its eruption. The viscosity of lava is important because it determines how the lava will behave. Island-arc magmas are generated in metosomatically altered mantle.hen it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock.
