(The paper quotes some experimental data points of 0.05 to 1.25 Pa.s at 1600 to 1800°C). This source reference article, which seems reliable to me, seems to contradict the claim in this Knowledge (XXG) article that komatiite lava had a 1058: 1026: 697: 876:... and yes gotta have hot. Variations in the geothermal gradient may be important (maybe for "hot spots" volcanism), but seems that decompression melting and addition of volatiles (as above a subduction zone) lowering the melting point temp are likely more important. Perhaps a section on this is needed? 602:
There are far too many examples of lava from Hawaii, can we flease not have pictures from other volcanoes. I know its easy to see lava on Hawaii but that not excuse for having 9 of 13 pictures from Hawaii. If nobody complains I will start to globalize the pictures and put the "excess" pictures in a

is extremely important in causing volcanoes associated with subduction zones. Attributing all melting to "geothermal energy" is misleading and does nothing to explain why volcanoes might occur in one place and not another. I suggest removing the line "The source of the heat that liquifies the rock

No mention is made of the fact that both aa and pahoehoe are strictly high-iron lavas, which are much less viscous than high-silica lavas. Ideally I'd like to see a chart of the ferromagnesium silicate range (from ultramafic to ultrasilicic), identifying the ranges which produce each type of lava.
851:
The section on Ultramafic Lava mentioning that lava at a temperature of 1600 °C can have a viscosity as low as that of water needs a citation. The other statements about viscosity like "100,000 times as viscous as water" could also be resolved by having tables or graphs with the viscosities of

I have no issue with more pictures from around the world, but do remember that Hawaii is the place where several types and features of lava were originally defined. A'a and pahoehoe pictures should be from Hawaii because that is where the type examples are.
813:
Saying something is 100,000 times more viscous that water is a very poor explanation. Someone should change that (I can't) to state that "Basaltic lava has roughly the same viscosity as cold honey, and silicic lavas, like granite can be much thicker".
