1. These bombs were produced when lumps of viscous, gas-rich lava were ejected from the vent; the outer surface of the lump chilled quickly, forming the glassy crust, but the inside remained hot, and the gas trapped within it continued to come out of solution and to expand, forming a spongy mass of vesicles.
2. The viscous nature of andesite lavas has some interesting side effects, especially in those which approach rhyolites in composition - that is, they contain more silica than an "average" andesite.
3. If such a granitic magma had a low gas content, it would be erupted at the surface as a viscous lava flow, which would ooze sluggishly out of the vent, travel only a short distance and pile up into massive heaps.
4. He forced them back and down and in, his fingers slipping on their cheeks and brows; they turned into mud, shiny and viscous.
5. The flavour should be almost viscous for a white wine, rich and succulent for a supposedly dry wine.
6. Releasing the emotional threads is somewhat like cutting the umbilical cord: if it is done too soon, both parties risk severe injury through loss of blood, whereas if it is left too long, it becomes an obscenity, a viscous, unnatural-looking projection of the human body.
7. At this temperature the molten rock is at its least viscous and it flows downhill as a fiery river, splashing and bounding over minor irregularities like a mountain stream, and cascading over larger obstacles in glowing fire-falls.
8. When the lava has reached this cherry red temperature, it's extremely viscous, like sticky treacle, and if one can get near enough to the flow to push a pole into it, quite a lot of material can be collected, and this can be carried away while still very hot and soft.
9. In the bite-shaped hollow, a small mound of viscous lava was growing and continued to do so for a long time afterwards.
10. The wood fibres are blown apart, but remain glued together at many individual points by the set resin, or connected by viscous strings of it if it has not quite set.
11. The contrast between gas-rich and gas-poor magmas is much more pronounced at the viscous granitic end of the scale.
12. Regular polygons represent matter in its coldest state, whereas it is usually more energetic in plastic, viscous, liquid, gaseous and volatile forms in which particles readily inflect, deflect and jostle one another.
13. Accepting then that the material making up the mantle can behave as a viscous liquid, this raises an interesting possibility.
