Definition
- physical porpety of liquids
- the flow of liquid
- High Viscosity = thick and slow
- Example:( Honey)
- Low viscosity = thin and quick flow
- Example: Water |

Definition
- Magma+ Slica= higher viscosity
- Hotter Magma has lower viscosity cooler magma
- high slica magma= High viscosity lava
- Example: Granite
- Low silca magma= low viscosity magma
- Example: Baslt |
