Lava Flow Modelling

Lava flow modeling is a scientific technique used to predict how lava from a volcano will move and spread during an eruption. By analyzing factors such as the terrain, temperature, and lava composition, researchers create simulations to visualize potential lava pathways. These models help assess risks to communities, infrastructure, and the environment, guiding emergency response and land-use planning in volcanic areas. Understanding lava flow behavior is crucial for mitigating hazards and protecting lives and property during volcanic events.
