How does lava travel
RSB [31]
Lava flows are the least hazardous of all processes in volcanic eruptions. How far a lava flow travels depends on the flows temperature, silica content, extrusion rate, and slope of the land. A cold lava flow will not travel far and neither will one that has a high silica content. Such a flow would have a high viscosity<span> (a high resistance to flow). A basalt flow like those in Hawai'i have low silica contents and low viscosities so they can flow long distances. Such a flow can move as far away as 4 km from its source and have a thickness of 10 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of several kilometers per hour (Scott, 1989). </span><span>More silica-rich flows can move as far away as 1.3 km from their sources and have thicknesses of 100 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of a few to hundreds of meters per hour (Scott, 1989). If a lava flow is channelized or travels underground in a lava tube then the distance it travels is greatly extended.</span>

A topography map would best provide information about which areas? Check all that apply.
MatroZZZ [7]

A topography map provides visual information about elevations, either by color or by circles, so the answers would be:

- areas with mountains

- regions with a high elevation.

The change of elevation (going high or low) would be represented by circles.  The closest the circles are to each other, the steeper is the variation.

A topographic map is usually a large-scale map (showing a small area, like your neighbourhood, not a whole country for example).  If there are state boundaries or any kind of road passing in that frame, yes they will be shown on the map... but it's not the primarily use of a topographic map.
