What is the viscosity of rangitoto volcano?
The viscosity of lava from Rangitoto volcano, which primarily consists of basalt, is relatively low compared to more silica-rich lavas. This low viscosity allows the lava to flow easily and form broad, gently sloping shield volcanoes. The typical viscosity of basaltic lava ranges from about 10 to 100 Pa·s, depending on temperature and gas content. As a result, Rangitoto's eruptions tend to be less explosive and more effusive, producing fluid lava flows.
