i think its i DONT Know
There is an inverse relationship between magma viscosity and silicon content. Lavas erupting from basaltic volcanoes (like Hawaii) have a much lower viscosity and are much hotter than those erupted by volcanoes whose magmas are rich in silicon. There may be up to 8 orders of magnitude viscosity difference between basaltic magmas (SiO2 contents or about 45 %) and rhyolitic magmas (SiO2 > 70 %).
because they have better thermal stability then petroleum as silicon viscosity dont change due to temperature change while petroleum viscosity changes with any change in its tempareture
Silicon is used to lower the viscosity of the weld puddle. This allows better flow of the molten weld puddle.
The percentage of silicon in magma greatly affects its viscosity.
Very fluid lavas have low viscosity. Lavas decrease in viscosity with lessening amounts of silicon. Mafic lavas are lower in silicon and therefore more fluid in nature.
Although other factors such as temperature and water content also affect the viscosity of magma, silica-rich magmas tend to be more viscous than silica-poor magmas in similar situations.
Adding water to a magma will decrease the viscosity of the melt. This happens because bonds within the silicon tetrahedron begin to break. When this breaking occurs it weakens the overall structure of the melt and doesn't allow the silica to accept other elements in order to form a complete bond.

Viscosity is resistance to flow of oil Viscosity Index is a scale to measure viscosity
The viscosity is similar to the viscosity of water.
Viscosity is the measure of the resistance of a liquid. This is often thought of as the thickness of a liquid.
honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah. honey has high viscosity lah, and water has low viscosity. anything that resists flow has high viscosity...lah.
