Just a couple of questions about lava
Let’s say I was completely submerged in lava and couldn’t move at all. Would I float up to the surface, sink down further or just be stuck where I am? Also, if I wanted to, would I be able to swim through it, or is that not possible?
I get that lava is way more viscous than a lot of other liquids, but I just want to have a bit of a better understanding of the properties of lava. Thanks

What is the Black Butte formation near Mt Shasta?
I'm trying to understand what the formation is exactly. Ive read it's a cinder cone made with overlapping dacite lava domes. But is it it's own volcano, a vent that's part of the Shasta magama tunnels, or is it terrain pushed up by expanding magma chambers?

What volcanoes are the ones we as humanity should be worried about?
As the title asked, what are some volcanoes we should be worried about? I talked to a geological person who looks at volcano and he said they Yellowstone is the least of their worries right now and that there are several other volcanoes that are way more dangerous and have a way higher probability of going off. When I asked him which ones, he basically refused to tell me.

Could Yellowstone burn the Amazon?
This is a question that I’ve been asking myself, but would a Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption of the highest magnitude lead to the Amazon burning down? Considering that a lot of ash and smoke would be released, if enough of that ash got down into South America and into the Amazon, could it burn it down?

did people know ahead of time that mount st. helens was going to explode when it did and with the magnitude it did?
I tried researching this online but all I could find was the fact that researchers knew the volcano COULD erupt because of earthquakes and stuff not that they knew when or with what magnitude. was it like, they knew it was going to erupt in the next few years before it did? or was it kind of like yellowstone where we know it probably will erupt one day we just don’t know when. also, did people know how violently the volcano would explode or even if it would explode at all? I just finished an earth science course in college (my major has nothing to do with earth science I just took it to get credit hours so I will probably not be taking many more geology courses to find answers to these questions) and the course left me with some curiosities regarding what I learned. i’m just hoping someone out there on the great reddit dot com could quench my thirst for volcano knowledge
