Rounded like cushions but born in fire, pillow lavas tell the story of volcanic eruptions beneath the sea. Formed by rapid cooling of basalt in water, they make up a major part of the upper oceanic crust and help geologists identify evidence of submarine volcanic activity and reconstruct ancient oceanic crust and plate tectonic settings. #GeologicalSurveyofIndia #GeoPedia #GeologyKeFunde #PillowLava #Volcanology #OceanicCrust #PlateTectonics #ChainofNature | Geological Survey of India

Pillow Lava is formed when hot molten lava erupts under water and solidifies in the form of roughly spherical or rounded pillow-shape. Pillow Lava, Maradihalli, Karnataka, is one of the best of its kind in the world.

Basalt - the composition of the lava erupting from the most recent volcano in Iceland. I LOVE lava ❤️🥰🌋, especially basalt. It forms when you have partial melting of the mantle. The melt is basaltic in composition… it’s light and buoyant and wants to make its way to the surface Finding the easiest path to get there. It’s seeps through the crust with cracks towards the surface, some crystallising in intrusive volcanic settings, such as magma chambers, dykes and sills. For the magma, that does m
