What is a volcanic dome?
I don't know about viscous, but a lava dome is a steep-sided dome of thick lava extruding from a volcanic vent.a viscous lava dome is when the lava from the volcano contains alot of silica. Viscous=sticky. So the lava cools quickly of the sides of the volcano. And often a viscous lava dome volcano is explosive.
