Lava vs. ice
This video is probably the coolest demonstration of natural forces at work, showing a drop of lava being poured over a cube of ice. Surprisingly, the ice prevailed, leaving the lava looking limp by its side.
What’s actually happening is that the temperature of the lava is so high, that the ice instantly turns to vapor rather than water. As the steam escapes from the ice cube, it essentially boils the lava on top.
