Field evidence about the viscosity of lavas

June 30, 1934

There appears to be surprisingly little definite information on the viscosity of lavas. With few exceptions writers content themselves with such general and indefinite terms as “mobile”, “viscous”, or “highly viscous”. Apparently the only attempts to actually calculate viscosity have been made on Hawaiian lavas.
