Lava of relatively low viscosity (relatively low silica content, so basic rock such as basalt). Associated with constructive plate margins and with intra-plate volcanoes such as Hawaii.

Does hot spot have lava viscous or fluid?

Hot spots often have more fluid lava compared to volcanic arcs because the mantle plume beneath a hot spot is hotter, resulting in lower viscosity lava. This fluid lava allows it to flow more easily and create shield volcanoes with gentle slopes.


Is basaltic lava less fluid than andesitic lava?

No, basaltic lava is typically more fluid than andesitic lava due to its lower silica content. This results in basaltic lava flowing more easily and spreading over larger areas compared to andesitic lava.

What volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times?

Shield volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times.


What is fluid lava?

Fluid lava refers to lava that has a low viscosity, meaning it flows easily. This type of lava is typically found in shield volcanoes and can travel long distances from the volcanic vent before cooling and solidifying. Fluid lava eruptions are typically less explosive compared to those with more viscous lava.


Shield volcanoes are almost entirely composed of this kind of very fluid lava.?

Basaltic lava (low in silica).


This type of lava is fluid thin and flows smoothly.?
