    No click-bait, no stupid jokes, no begging for likes, succinct objective presentation, good ratio of video and images, music only used as background sparingly. This video does not belong on UA-cam. Good job sir, I wish this site had more quality content like this.

    High viscosity means it flows slowly, something with low viscosity will flow easily. water has a very low viscosity. Other than this, great video!

    • @jerrymagloughlin3070
      @jerrymagloughlin3070  7 років тому +31

      Thanks. You're right, pahoehoe lava is low viscosity lava, and as I said, when it flows slowly, for example on relatively flat ground, all those interesting patterns can form. As the lava increases its viscosity, aa lava results, which usually forms the very slow, thicker, bulldozer-tread-like flow pattern we illustrated.

    • @CalvinHodgson
      @CalvinHodgson 6 років тому +4

      Just based on that description alone it is likely formed by a sill (underground vertical intrusion of magma) or lava of basalt that breaks into hexagons as it cools. This is known as columnar jointing.

    In case others notice the change, there were a couple of passages where I thought one of my speakers had packed up, as the audio shifted more or less to one channel, from being centred. But I can see from a quick look at the audio waveform that it is on the video.
