Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Dear experts, I am a student and have a query on gravity. We can see some water or sometimes lava (in volcanic region) coming or oozing out of the Earth's surface. So, why gravity is not pulling these things towards the centre of the Earth ? Why they move away from the Earth's gravitational centre? Isn't gravity acting on them?

Hi Pradipbhattarai,

Is your question related to a science fair project? This forum is intended for students, parents, and teachers working on K-12 science projects. If you are looking for help with homework or general science discussions there are other sites that should be able to answer you question. Or you may find that researching the forces involved in volcanic eruptions will be helpful to you.
