Continental plate.
Sticky lava, also known as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, is typically found in stratovolcanoes and volcanic arcs, particularly along convergent plate boundaries. This type of lava has a high viscosity due to its higher silica content, which causes it to flow slowly and create steep, conical volcanoes. Notable examples include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Fuji in Japan. Sticky lava can also be found in areas with continental crust, where it can lead to explosive volcanic eruptions.
A lava dome volcano is typically found at convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates are colliding. The magma from the volcano is usually thick and sticky, causing it to build up and form a dome-shaped structure.
It isn't slimy. It is viscous when molten, proportionally to the silica content, but is not at all slimy even when solid. Lava-flow surfaces may become slimy with algae in certain situations - but that's a different matter!
Thick.
Usually very viscous magma is rich in gasses, so it will erupt explosively, forming clouds of ash and pumice rather than lava flows. If the magma is fairly depleted in gasses then it may form a lava dome. The lava in this case is too viscous to flow away from the vent, so instead it piles up on top of it. Such domes may sometimes form thick, short lava flows called coulees.
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.

Thick, highly viscous lava.
Thick.
Yes, oil is sticky because it has a high viscosity, which means it has a thick and sticky consistency.
well, since basaltic lava is the same material that composes the ocean floor, it is common sense that it would be sticky, not runny.
the most dangerous type of lava is sticky lava because slow moving acid lava is more vicious

If you have cystic fibrosis what internal secretion of the body becomes thick and sticky?
2. Thick or runny lava. Thick flows slowly, runny flows faster.
