What else can I help you with?
Does High viscosity lava flows faster than low viscosity lava?
No. Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. So higher viscosity means a slower flow.
What is the measure of lavas mobility called?
The measure of a lava's mobility is called viscosity, which refers to the resistance of a substance to flow. Lava with low viscosity is more fluid and flows more easily, while lava with high viscosity is thicker and flows more slowly.
Is pyroclastic material likely to form from low-viscosity lava or high-viscosity lava?

How would you describe lava with a high viscosity?
Lava with high viscosity is thick and slow-moving, resembling thick honey or toothpaste. It tends to flow more sluggishly and can build up pressure, leading to explosive eruptions with volcanic ash and debris.
How does the viscosity affect of lava affect its flow rate?
Viscosity means how runny it is. Thus a lava with low viscosity will erupt fast and form long, wide spreading lava flows (eg Hawaii) and lavas of high viscosity will erupt slowly and form lava domes (eg Mt. St. Helens).
Does High viscosity lava flows faster than low viscosity lava?
No. Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow. So higher viscosity means a slower flow.

How does the silica content of lava impact its viscosity?
Silica content is directly proportional to viscosity, so the higher the silica content of a lava, the higher its viscosity. high viscosity means a lava will be thick and slow moving, hence probably meaning an explosive eruption. lava's with a high viscosity include rhyolite and andesite whereas lava's with a low viscosity (runny ones) include basalt.
Is pyroclastic material likely to form from low-viscosity or high-viscosity lava?
low viscosity lava due to the violent eruption of the volcano

Does Krakatoa make pillow lava?
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, low-viscosity lava. Krakatoa is a stratovolcano with a style of ereuption more characteristic of high-viscosity andesitic lava.
How would you describe lava with a high viscosity?
Lava with high viscosity is thick and slow-moving, resembling thick honey or toothpaste. It tends to flow more sluggishly and can build up pressure, leading to explosive eruptions with volcanic ash and debris.
Fast moving hot lava that has low viscosity is called?
Fast moving hot lava with low viscosity is called "pahoehoe." It has a smooth, ropy texture due to its high temperature and low resistance to flow.
How does the viscosity affect of lava affect its flow rate?
Viscosity means how runny it is. Thus a lava with low viscosity will erupt fast and form long, wide spreading lava flows (eg Hawaii) and lavas of high viscosity will erupt slowly and form lava domes (eg Mt. St. Helens).
What is lava's resistance to flow?
The resistance to flow of lava depends on its viscosity, which is influenced by factors such as temperature, composition, and gas content. Lava with low viscosity (more fluid) flows more easily, while lava with high viscosity (more sticky) flows less easily. The resistance to flow can also be affected by topography and the presence of obstacles in the lava's path.
Are cinder-cone volcanos viscous?
It is thick, slow moving lava called Pyroclastic Flow.also known as high viscosity
What kind of viscosity lava does Mount Tambora have?
Mount Tambora typically produces highly viscous lava due to its high silica content. This results in the lava being thick and slow-moving, leading to more explosive eruptions.
