The solidified lava forming the walls of the lava tube will act to insulate the molten lava. It will therefore cool more slowly than lava at the surface and so will have a lower viscosity (it will be more runny) and so will flow faster than lava at the surface.

The 525 is faster for racing. but on flat ground the raptor would be faster.


Does a car go faster if it was lower to the ground?

That needn't always be. Faster cars are built lower to the ground. This is primarily to lower the center of gravity of the car. If the car is much higher above the ground, it's center of gravity would also be higher and that means the car would have lesser stability. Fast cars have to be stable even at high speeds and a slight nudge would be enough to throw the car off-balance if the ground clearance is high. Hence as a safety measure, fast and super cars are built lower to the ground.


Do pea pods grow above ground or under ground?

Above ground. If they grew underground, they (a) would not be green and (b) would not be peas. +++ The pod is the fruit, and the peas the seeds, of the pea plant.

Would light travel faster through space or wind?

It would travel faster through space since there are no particles to get in its way. The wind is an opposing force so it is harder to move faster. The difference between the two would be negligble but specifically, light moves faster through space.


Why does a ball travel faster through the air than rolling it on the floor?

Newton's First Law. The resistance that an object encounters by moving only through air is considerably less than what it would encounter were it on the ground. Since the resisting force is greater on the ground, the object will travel more slowly.

What is altitude?

== == Science Major: Altitude is height above mean sea level (MSL) or true altitude, which means in reference to what sea level is on the ground, or height above ground level (AGL), which is also called absolute altitude, which means height above the ground with no reference to the ground's height above sea level. In example, if the sea level in a certain place is 100 feet and you are 250 feet above the ground, your altitude above sea level would be 350 feet, and your altitude above ground level would be 250 feet.
