Two factors that determine the viscosity of lava

Viscosity is the ability of a substance (in this case, lava) to resist flow. First of all, the temperature of the lava affects the viscosity. Lava with a higher temperature has lower viscosity than cooler lava (higher viscosity) since cooler lava is starting to solidify thereby increases its resistance to flow. The composition of the lava is also a determinant of viscosity such as the silicon content of the lava. The higher the silicon content of the lava, the higher the internal friction of the lava, thereby higher resistance to flow.

Which type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water- high porosity, low porosity, low permeability or high permeability

topjm [15]

The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size. For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention). As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).
_______________________
However, "high porosity" is the best choice.
