Type of the magma and its viscosityThe steepness of the slope surface.If the magma flows as one big spread or in a
narrow channel or a magma tunnel.The rate of the magma coming from the ventBasaltic magma can flow tens of kilometers from the eruption
vent and the margin of the lava can go up to 10 km/hour depending on slope.
Usually the transport time is shorter, but if the slope gradient
