So a blind person only can describe lava to you after they touched and heared it?

A blind person has touched warm and hot things and gotten burned before, and then they are told lava is this molten liquid that is even hotter than anything they have touched. That is enough for them to understand.

A blind person that never touched a hot object wouldn't really know though, there is a reason we dismiss talk from people who lack experience.
