Students will experiment with three different liquids to determine the relative viscosity and flow rate of each liquid. compare and measure the relative flow rates of different liquids. state that ...

The properties of the magma inside a volcano affect how an eruption will play out. In particular, the viscosity of this molten rock is a major factor in influencing how hazardous an eruption could be ...

Effusive volcano: lava flowing down the slopes of Mount Mayon in the Philippines. (Courtesy: Top1963/CC BY-SA 3.0) The formation of nanometre-sized crystals can – even in low concentrations – ...

A new device helps scientists measure lava viscosity during active flows. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Last year, scientists ...

A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for its low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. It is formed by the eruption of highly fluid (low viscosity) lava, which travels ...

2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano in Hawai'i provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions Washington, ...

Different types of lava have different viscosities (viscosity is the resistance of a fluid to flow). In this activity, you will use different liquids to investigate viscosity and how viscosity affects ...
