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 ...
The 2018 Kilauea eruption provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions. “The study is very unusual ...
April 7 (UPI) --Scientists were able to estimate the viscosity of magma inside Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano by studying fault movements before and during the volcano's eruption in 2018. The breakthrough, ...

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 ...
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 ...
Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes. Cinder cones are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single ...
