Lava is very dense, meaning you would float, so there would be no risk of drowning. However, if someone were to fall into a pool of lava, they would probably still die of suffocation, since breathing in the hot air would fuck their lungs, which would kill them faster than the direct damage from the heat of the lava, considering they would probably immediately stand up and start running around due to the pain (which would be possible because of the density and viscosity of the lava).
If it was some other very hot liquid with density and viscosity similar to that of water, so you could submerge in it, I think you would die from the heat, because your brain would probably heat up to ridiculous temperatures before you could drown, which would take a couple of minutes.
Of course, he submerges in the lava in the movie, because people wouldn't want to see someone dying in a very graphic way over a period of a couple minutes.

What if gollum encased himself in an ice suit, say at -10000 degrees. Would he have survived? (Assuming the lava is +10000 degrees)

The heat, drowning takes a minute.

You'd set fire and die just from being on the platform above the lava

If you somehow managed to fall all the way to the lava before dying, you'd be killed instantly as the water in your body vaporises and expands, causing you to explode

>lava is too dense to sink

I want this uninformed meme to end. This bag of refuse smaller than a human sinks all the way in.

Surely someone on this board knows the specific heat capacity of lava off the top of their head.

why didn't the eagles drop a fucking iceberg into mount doom?m

Because the steam would have cooked the hobbits like lobsters?

You don't die you just stop working.

The rough rule of thumb is that lava will melt about 10 times its volume in ice.

>mount stupid

Yeah, but this doesn't take into account extra extra cold ice.

In the case of Golum probably the fall. Lava still has the density of rock. He would hit that shit hard.

I'm sorry, there's a rule of thumb for this?

Lmao, no one needs to know anything off the top of their head anymore.

you'd probably die before you hit the lava and then just sit on the top as you rapidly melted away.

What killed the T-800 and T-1000 in Terminator 2?

0 degrees is still ice, so he would be ice.

He's right, though. Lava is very dense, it's molten rock so it's dense and pretty fucking heavy. Imagine a factory-sealed bucket of paint. Ever pick one up? You'd have a very hard time picking up one in each hand. Now imagine the same bucket, but with solid rock molded into it. That's how heavy lava is.
Bag, tank, whatever the hell that thing is or what's inside of it, must've been atleast twenty pounds. Regardless, it hit the lava. It did not sink in, it likely broke apart. The lava itself is going batshit because of the disruption that a foreign object caused when mixing and melting with it.

The heat. Complex organisms are mostly made up of water. I give that lispy faggot ten seconds before he'd evaporate into a bunch of H's and O's leaving behind dust.

the lava is going batshit because of the huge thermal gradient
imagine popping a bubble or puncturing a balloon only instead of air it's lava

>if someone were to fall into a pool of lava, they would probably still die of suffocation

No... you would burn to a crisp before you could possibly expire from a lack of oxygen.

You would probably die of massive system shock first.

Because then no one could destroy the ring

The heat.

Yes, it's for estimating the size of of subglacial volcanic eruptions by the volume of meltwater runoff.

Just stop. you're fucking retarded.
