The thickness of lava is generally dependent on the eruption rate of the volcano. The flow rate of lava is measured by the lava's viscosity. Highly viscous lava does not flow well or travel great distances. Low viscosity lava can flow for great distances.

∙ 8y agoThere is no lava on the sun. The sun is made mostly of hydrogen and helium and is much hotter than lava. The density of the sun's outer layer's is quite low, about 0.37% that of Earth's atmosphere, while the inner core is compressed to a density about 6 times greater than that of the densest substances on Earth.

What type of lava does a cinder cone volcano have?
A cinder cone volcano has basaltic lava.
Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
Does Paricutin have basaltic lava or granitic lava?
Paricutin is a volcano in Michoacán, Mexico. The volcano is a cinder cone volcano. This means that the volcano is made up of layers of ash and stones that erupt out of the earth when the volcano erupts.
What type of lava do cinder cones have?
Basaltic. There is more gas content than in most basaltic magma so that when a cinder cone erupts, The pressure builds up and makes the eruption somewhat explosive. Tephra, or dried lava/magma, is shot up, and joined to the volcano making it larger.
Volcano formed by gentle eruptions of fluid lava?
A cinder cone volcano....found in my 8th grade science book page 136(:

What is inside the cinder cone volcano?
lava
Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
How does lava affect the cinder cone volcano?
makes it bigger

What type of mountain has alternate layers of lava and cinder?
A composite volcano.
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
What does the spray from an erupting volcano contain?
Lava, watervapour, ash, cinder, carbondioxide.
Why do cinder cone volcanoes have narrower bases and steeper sides then shield volcanoes do?
The way a volcano is being formed, depends on the type of lava. Cinder cone volcanoes is made from andesitic lava. This type of lava is especially thick, and therefore is won't be able to ''run'' very far from the volcano. In this way, each time a cinder cone volcano erupts, it will create a new layer of lava, making the volcano higher and higher each time, but it will not increase its base area very much. It's different with shield volcanoes. They are made from another kind of lava which will advance very far from it's vent. Therefore the shield volcano won't often be very tall, but it can have a very large base area
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
