Geologists collect fresh lava by carefully approaching active lava flows, typically from a safe vantage point near the edge. They wear heat-resistant suits, gloves, helmets, and face shields to protect against the intense heat—lava can exceed 1,000°C (1,800°F). Using long-handled metal tools like steel scoops or tongs, they reach into the flow and grab a small amount of molten rock. As soon as the sample is collected, it’s quickly quenched in a bucket of water. This rapid cooling prevents the fo

Geology of the Himalayas is AMAZING! Must watch this informative video to get an idea that what do Structural Geologists do during their fieldwork. Featuring Prof. Deepak Chandra Srivastava - a noted Himalayan Structural Geologist. #LearningGeology #StructuralGeology #Fieldwork | Learning Geology
