A lava dome indicates lava with a very high viscosity. A low viscosity lava would flows away rather than build into a dome.
Composite volcanoes have low viscosity magma. BTW go to grammar lessons. It's do composite volcanoes...
It depends on it's silica content and temperature. In general the more silica it has, the more viscous it will be and the cooler it is the more viscous it will be.
The Hawaiian island volcanoes are shield Volcanoes which have a low viscosity.
Yes its so thick tlyou can make a road over the world and you can go over it 3times
Kilauea has low viscosity magma.
blocky lava
The highest viscosity lava is rhyolite. Rhyolitic lava tends to form dome-shaped volcanoes and tends to cause explosive eruptions.
high viscosity
Shield volcanoes, so named for their broad, shield-like profiles, are formed by the eruption of low-viscosity lava that can flow a great distance from a vent. They generally do not explode catastrophically. Since low-viscosity magma is typically low in silica, shield volcanoes are more common in oceanic than continental settings. The Hawaiian volcanic chain is a series of shield cones, and they are common in Iceland, as well.
Compared with some other volcanoes around the world, the Hawaiian volcanoes are fed by low-viscosity magma with a low gas content. The explosive power of a volcanic eruption is driven by gas trapped in the magma, and magma that is more viscous allows more pressure to build up. The magma in the Hawaiian volcanoes flows out fairly readily.
No. Ultramafic magma would have a low viscosity.
No. Shield volcanoes are fed by low-viscosity basaltic magma.
No, they're shield volcanoes. The lava in spatter cones is highly viscous whereas the lava that forms shield volcanoes (that you can see flowing in Hawaii) has a very low viscosity. Shield volcanoes are low profile, broad lumps; these are the Hawaiian islands.

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.

The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
The liquids with high viscosity flow slowly and liquids with low viscosity flow quickly.
Low viscosity liquid is more runny, like water, then compared to a high viscosity liquid.
Because liquids with a high viscosity flow slowly as to where a liquid with a low viscosity flow quickly
