your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Compare the relative viscosities of the liquids to the speeds with which the
liquids moved during your ramp tests. Based on your data, how does the
viscosity of the liquid influence the rate at which the liquid flows? Nyiragongo is said to have lava that flows "like water." Based on your
investigation, describe the viscosity (extremely viscous or not very viscous)
of the lava produced by Nyiragongo. How might the viscosity of lava from a volcanic eruption affect the outcome
of an evacuation?
