is high, or
the magma is flowing through a narrow channel or tunnels, the speed can reach
over 30 km/hour. Magma with higher silica content is more viscous than the
basaltic magma and does not flow as fast, it goes only a few meters
per hour.
An example of this magma would be Dacite or Rhyolite.
Lava flow is usually not a fatal event since lava most often
does not flow faster than a person
