Difference between viscous and non viscous lava?

Viscous lava is very sticky and thick and is more felsic (ie it contains more silica) than non-viscous lava. This type of lava makes for a very explosive volcano, because it's so sticky that it sticks to itself and can't exit the volcano until it explodes violently. Non-viscous lava is more runny and is more mafic (has more iron, less silica). Volcanoes with non-viscous lava are less explosive because the lava just runs out slowly and no pressure builds. The Hawaiian islands are formed from volcanoes with non-viscous lava.

Where is the antarctic on a map?

Summer in the Arctic is cool, with temperatures just above zero in most places, but may reach to 7 to 20 degrees C in other areas. The ice melts a little, absorbing most of the sun's energy, which leaves very little to heat the air, despite the fact that there's 24 hours of sunlight.

Which lava is more viscous slow-moving lava or runny lava?

The difference in the flow of lava is determined by how viscous the magma of the volcano is. For Stratovolcanoes like those seen in the Cascades Range of the North Western United States, there magma is normally very sticky as it has a high concentration of Silica. The higher the concentration of silica within magma makes it stickier and will make it resist flow. This is why Stratovolcanoes often will erupt explosively, as there is no way for the gasses to simply passively leave during a lava flow. This viscosity traps the gasses and makes explosive eruptions much more likely as once the gasses finally are able to escape the level of gasses have built up to catastrophic levels within the volcano. On the other hand Hawaiian style volcanoes have a very low silica content within their magma chamber, and therefore have very flowable lava. This allows for the fire fountains and lava channels that are often times shown in magazines. These eruptions are often times passive in nature, as the gasses dissolved in the magma are easily able to escape during an eruption.
