Dynamics of Lava Flows

Tjondro Indrasutanto

Abstract


Extensive lava flows, like those of Mount Merapi of Central
Java, require thickness only of the order of meters and temperatures only
slightly above the melting point to spread over distance of the order of
hundreds of meters. Other things being equal the spreading distance is
propotional to the cube of the thickness of the flow.
