When oil is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the oil to become less viscous and more runny. The increase in temperature decreases the oil's viscosity, making it flow more easily.

Viscosity less than honey?

If something has a greater viscosity, it becomes more 'runny' compared to its original state when heated up. The greater the change from thick to runny = the greater the viscosity. So honey has a greater viscosity than water for example.

What causes the oil to rise in a lava lamp?

The oil in a lava lamp rises because it is heated by a bulb at the base of the lamp, causing it to expand and become less dense than the water. As the oil heats up, it becomes lighter and rises to the top of the lamp. When it reaches the top and cools down, it becomes denser again and sinks back down to repeat the cycle.
