This would be a lava such as basalt. Note well that when basalt starts to cool it rapidly increases in viscocity and so it's flow rate reduces dramatically.

How fast water flows through soil is called what?

The speed at which water flows through soil is called "percolation rate." It is influenced by factors such as soil type, compaction, and porosity. Percolation rate is important in determining how quickly water moves through the soil and its ability to retain nutrients for plants.


This type of magma is thick moves slowly and does not flow well?

The type of magma you are referring to is called viscous magma. It is rich in silica and other minerals, making it thick and sticky. As a result, it does not flow easily and tends to form domes or plugs when it erupts.


What type of boundary moves away from each other allowing magma to create new ocean crust?

A divergent boundary moves away from each other, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and create new ocean crust through volcanic activity. This process is called seafloor spreading and occurs along mid-ocean ridges.


How does the magma get above ground?

Magma rises to the surface through volcanic conduits and pathways called dikes, fractures, and conduits. This process is driven by buoyancy and pressure from the Earth's mantle. As magma moves upward, it can eventually erupt onto the surface as lava through volcanic vents or fissures.


Which feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?

A waterfall is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves. Waterfalls are formed when water flows over a precipice or cliff, usually due to variations in rock hardness or erosion processes.

What type of lava is thin moves quickly and flows smoothly?

Basic lava.


Magma flows in the mantle like a river and can form magma pools?

Magma flows in the mantle due to its high temperature and lower density compared to the surrounding rock, but it moves much more slowly than water in a river. As magma rises towards the surface, it can accumulate in magma chambers or pools before erupting as lava onto the Earth's surface.


How to do a glissando on a musical instrument?

To do a glissando on a musical instrument, slide your fingers smoothly and quickly along the keys or strings, creating a continuous and connected sound that moves smoothly from one pitch to another.


How can mantle flow because its made of hot liquid magma?

Magma in the mantle moves in a current called a convection current. A convection current is a circular flow of a substance in which a hot substance rises, cools, sinks, gets hot again, and repeats. In this way, magma in the mantle flows in currents of more hot or more cool magma.


Which moves quicker high or lower viscosity?

Low viscosity liquids flow more quickly. For example water flows faster than honey.

What is the difference between a slide and a flow?

"The basic difference between slides and flows is that slides initially move as a unit with little or no deformation within the sliding mass, whereas flows are thoroughly deformed internally during movement."-Alan E. Kehew 9Geology for engineers & Environmental Scientists)


what does magma moves in?

Magma moves through the Earth's crust in magma chambers and along fractures or fissures. When pressure builds up, it can rise towards the surface, often resulting in volcanic eruptions. The movement is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the composition of the magma itself. Once it reaches the surface, it is called lava.
