What makes some lavas more fluid than others?
How is the explosivity of a volcano related to its magma chemistry?
How does the chemistry & gas content of magma determine the shape of a volcano?
Felsic lava is highly viscous, it consists of a polymer structure. Therefore it does not flow too much. Hotter felsic lava, however, can flow longer.
