Lava delta deltas make attractive sites for building and many villages and towns are located on old lava deltas, such as Garachico on Tenerife. Lava delta Lava deltas, similar to river deltas form wherever sufficient sub-aerial flows of lava enter standing bodies of water. The lava cools and breaks up as it encounters the water, with the resulting fragments filling in the adjacent seabed topography such that the flow can move further offshore sub-aerially. Lava deltas are generally associated with large-scale, effusive type basaltic volcanism. Lava deltas are found mainly associated with volcanic islands, particularly those formed at hotspots as they produce
