Which moves fast felsic lava or mafic lava?
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
Is flow of lymph through lymph nodes fast or slow compared to blood capillaries?
The flow of lymph is slow because the lymphatic system has no pump.
Why do mafic magmas tend to reach the surface much more often than silicic magmas?
Mafic magma is less viscous or more fluid than silicic magma in much the same way that water is less viscous than molasses. Mafic magma reaches the surface more often because it flows more easily.
If a lava flow at earths surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely be?
A Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock.
Does eletricity flow fast or slow?
Compared to molasses, water in the olde mill stream, or traffic on the interstate highway, electric current flows very fast. Compared to the speed of light, in vacuum and in most material media, electric current flows slower.
How can a substance flow?
A substance can flow if its molecules are loosely packed when compared to a solid.
Does the water in the nile flow fast or slow?
fast
The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
Does water flow as fast as blood?
it all depend on the person and there health but yes water does flow as fast as blood.
How fast does the castlereagh river flow?
fast about 20km i think
How does the water flow in a creek during a flood compared to normal water flow?

If a lava flow at Earth's surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely turn into upon solidification?
It would form into the rock basalt, an extrusive, mafic, igneous rock.
