Re: Is lava wet? I had to listen to this three times, and then read over the transcript. It is incorrect to state that lava is not liquid, or that it is made of minerals. 熔岩是typi液体cally contains entrained solid particles. The solid particles are minerals that crystallize from the liquid, plus perhaps refractory minerals that did not melt to begin with. As the lava cools, it typically becomes a mixture of minerals and glass. The glass is material that does not have a crystal structure, and is therefore not a mineral. Indeed, science is not clear as to whether glass is liquid, solid, or something in between.
