In the movie "Volcano" basaltic lava flows are shown running down flat streets at speeds faster than humans could run. From your knowledge of magma viscosity, is this realistic?
◦ No, the viscosity of basaltic magma is much higher than water, and thus, would flow much faster than water.
◦ Yes, the viscosity of basalt magma is similar to water so it would flow at comparable rates.
◦ No, the viscosity of basaltic magma is much higher than water, and thus would flow much slower than water.
◦ There is no way of knowing because basaltic magmas can have viscosities similar to water or higher depending on temperature and fluids, and thus there isn't enough information.
