Can lava melt glass?

Best Answers

Glass completely melts at 1400–1,600 degrees celsius. When lava erupts from the vent, it is 700–1,200 degrees celsius. So technically we should be able to contain lava in glass. However, glass can be molded at 590 degrees celsius, meaning that if we try to contain lava in glass, the glass would just lose shape quickly. read more

As for when it hardens, at that point it can melt but whatever part of it melted off would just be covered by the newly hardened lava. 135 Views Pamela B. Zohar, M.S. in geology, +35 years work experience in exploration and mining geology. read more
