Detailed explanation-1: -Here are some temperatures recorded at different times and locations: The eruption temperature of Kīlauea lava is about 1, 170 degrees Celsius (2, 140 degrees Fahrenheit). The temperature of the lava in the tubes is about 1, 250 degrees Celsius (2, 200 degrees Fahrenheit).

Detailed explanation-2: -Lavas like those in Hawaii can reach temperatures a bit over 2, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s hot enough to incinerate organic material, such as wood, says Liz Cottrell, a research geologist with the Global Volcanism Program at the National Museum of Natural History.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coldest erupting lava in the world is the natrocarbonatite lava of the volcano Oldoinyo Lengai, Tanzania that erupts at temperatures of 500-600°C (930-1, 110 °F).

Detailed explanation-4: -The hottest eruptions on Earth today reach temperatures of about 1, 500 Kelvin (2, 240 degrees Fahrenheit), but hotter lava erupted billions of years ago.
