[edit] Viscosity?
Shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows of low viscosity — lava that flows easily.
This should be changed to:
Shield volcanoes are formed by lava flows of high viscosity — lava that flows easily. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.83.141.120 (talk • contribs).
- Not according to my reading of the viscosity article. --Pmsyyz 22:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- Pmsyyz is correct. hike395 03:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
actually lava with a low viscosity moves slowly while lava with a high viscosity moves quickly —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.71.167 (talk) 00:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
