Lava is the part of magma that reaches the Earth's surface, it differs from magma for the loss of most of the volatiles (gases). The word lava comes from the Latin "labes" which means fall, slide, in reference to its flow on the surface. Lavas are divided based on their silica content into: - basic or femic, if they have a low silica content (between 45 and 52%); - neutral, if they have a medium silica content (between 52 and 65%); - acidic or sialic, if they have a high silica content (greater than 65%).
