Are Basaltic lavas are generally hotter and more viscous than andesite lavas?
No. Basaltic lavas are hotter and less viscous than andesitic lavas.
Is basaltic magma or granitic magma hotter?
Baslatic magma is hotter.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?
Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.
Is pahoehoe fast or slow?
Pahoehoe is hotter than other lavas. It is basaltic lava, which is hotter than the other compositional varieties found on earth today. It is also generally hotter than a'a, another common variety of basaltic lava.

What does more viscous mean?
Have a look here http:/dictionary.reference.com/browse/viscousViscosity it how thick or thin a fluid is.The thicker a fluid is the more viscous. If the fluid is less viscous it is thinner. A fluid is liquid AND gas. If a fluid is hotter is gets less viscous but if it is cooler it will be more viscous.
Is boiling water hotter than boiling syrup?
no.. Syrups are more viscous so require higher temprature to boil
Is Ghana hotter than Kenya?
Kenya is generally hotter than Ghana.
Why is orange the fast flowing flow volcano?
The orand lavayou see is basaltic lava. One important aspect of a liquid is a property called viscosity, or the resistance to flow. For example, maple syrup has a higher viscosity than water. Compared to other types of lava, basaltic lava does not have a lot of silica in it. The low silica content makes the lava less viscous. Basalt also has a migher melting point than other types of rock, so the lava is hotter, so hot that it glows orange or red. The higher temperature also lowers viscosity, as it does for nearly all liquids.
Which location on the Earth are generally warmest?
the closer you are to the equator, the hotter it is.
Is it Hotter in Arizona or Houston?
It's generally hotter in Arizona, but because of the high humidity, it's more miserable in Houston.
Why are some countries hot?
Many countries in the world are a lot hotter than others. Generally the closer to the equator a country is, the hotter it will be.
