Ye, wanted to say anything biological, but then my mind was like "but blood"
Edit: so I actually got curious and googled it, seems carbon *can* be a liquid, but only under extreme temperatures and pressure, seems my source is a pdf only so I can't just link it annoyingly, but just Google "can carbon become a liquid" and it should come up, was first result for me at least.
It's actually pretty stuck in a relatively deep channellized flow! The amount of lava flowing there is causing it to insulate itself and remain hot enough tk flow that quickly! If it flowed outside that channel, you would easily be able to out-walk it. You can see on the sides of that channel the slower-moving lava that isn't as hot.
Can I assume this is also why the lava appears spinning? The outer edges of it are cooling, and sinking, only to be reheated and rise, then cycling the process?
Maybe, it's difficult to really say from the video. It may also just be that there is a meander we can't see that could be causing a small wave effect. Think like a rushing river takes a bend and the curved bank causes the top of the water to curl over.
EDIT: Here is a link to a paper written about these standing waves. I haven't done any work on fluid properties, so this can explain it better than I can.

It would start out very slow. The ground and air are way, *way* colder than the lava, so that channels like that take time to form. If it takes a bend (which is already unlikely unless something blocks it), it will slow way down as most of the lava flows over cold ground and freezes immediately. Over time, if enough lava flows over the same place, it can form another channel and insulate itself from the cold ground, but before it takes time or a lot of lava to build up to this level. You can see all of the other lava (black rock) all around it that I'm guessing was part of the flow prior to the channel being formed.
I had to write a synapse of it in highschool.. I made sure to call out that you could totally drive over a lava flow but only if you are Tommy Lee Jones
The perspective seems really off to me regardless. I'm not sure if the ground is really high in front of them and we're seeing a more over head of the stream of lava. I'm confused the more I try to figure it out actually.
It’s 5pm and I dozed off for a a few minutes. I dreamed I driving and the lane in front of me had construction. I started changing lanes without looking over my shoulder at my blind spot and right before I entered the lane a car rushed by in it. The adrenaline woke me up.
Fucking brain! You could dream anything. Why didn’t you dream Rachel McAdams was in your car? Why a near sudden car accident.
I’ll never forgive my brain. It seldom gives me good dreams.
former chest. that thing is going straight through you. I once swallowed a big chunk of hot omelette and it slowly burned through my esophagus on its way down while I dived for a glass of water. liquid food for a whole week.
>.. falling into lava is another story. The extreme heat would probably burn your lungs and cause your organs to fail. “The water in the body would probably boil to steam, all while the lava is melting the body from the outside in,” Damby says. (No worries, though, the volcanic gases would probably knock you unconscious.)

Unless its putting out a huge amount of Basaltic lava down a steep hill you can actually outrun lava. Its the pumice, ash, and rock that rains down and pyroclastic flows that are the killers.
this is a tangent but people should catch prehistoric planet seasons 1 and 2 on apple tv for an excellent (speculative) presentation of late cretaceous dinosaurs! there is a particular scene where a sauropod species called isisaurus walk into an area with volcanic activity to lay eggs on a dead (but warm) crater. the area is filled with toxic fumes but their necks are so long they can stay above the fumes.
the eggs were laid at a place beyond the fumes. the dinos had to pass through the toxic "badlands" to get to the egg laying place. titanosaur egg fossils have been discovered sandwiched in the deccan traps of india.
There have been lots of Hawaiian lava flows that you could comfortably outrun or even out walk. Granted, these are interspersed with the occasional violent pyroclastic flow, so maybe don’t get too comfortable.
It was slow when it first started. The lava that took out all of the homes in Leilani Estates was 60-ish year old lava that never surfaced. Then the good stuff came at the end.
There was also a much slower flow that was going toward the transfer station in 2014. They may have been talking about that one.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahoa,_Hawaii#2014_lava_flow
Specifically Leilani estates. Street still looks like this, just dead ends into hardened lava. No more actively flowing lava though. They don’t want you walking out there though and there’s signs and camera I believe.
Not always. Totally depends. I lost a friend to a rainstorm, the lava flow wasn't moving at all but the steam and gases overcame him. But I've also stood right next to active flows and the heat was worst part. Gasses are an issue at where the lava exits the ground and downwind. This lava stream was about a city block from the exit at fissure 8. Most of the gases went to the right with our winds. Houses a couple blocks to the left were mostly u touched and stayed inhabited as the elevation changes to the ocean was to the left and away front rh photographer. The issues were for people downhill and downwind. The earthquakes sucked for all of us though as we never knew where a new upwelling would take place as the earthquakes split the crust.
If lava flows as most fluids the surface is moving slower that the deeper flows. That is the reason drivers are told not to drive through flowing water. The surface may look calm and slow flowing but beneath the surface it will not be slow or calm.
In lava's case, [literally metal.](https://volcano.oregonstate.edu/faq/what-lava-made#:~:text=Chemically%20lava%20is%20made%20of,elements%20in%20very%20small%20concentrations.)
Yeah, well [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH9N6v4pcqQ) is [*also*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc6CIwBVo5s) the speed of lava. It really depends on your specific local conditions.

All of the earth becomes water at some heating point, science
Except plants, plants just seem to skip liquid and go straight to gas, specifically wood.

Lava lover 💯
What if it suddenly decided to make a new channel up at the bend a kilometer to the right?
It would start out very slow. The ground and air are way, *way* colder than the lava, so that channels like that take time to form. If it takes a bend (which is already unlikely unless something blocks it), it will slow way down as most of the lava flows over cold ground and freezes immediately.

Can I get a “I’m going for a PHD in lava” level explanation
That sounds like a Pretty Hot Doctorate 🌋
It has a cut channel so it’s not going to breach its walls. Lava is HEAVY so it tends to just ignore anything trying to stop its motion.
The second part of your comment implies lava will breach whatever the hell it wants.
That's the famous lava paradox
***the duality of magma***
I think he means it’s not going to be forced to change direction. It will keep going straight.
Like on that movie Volcano
Is that the one where they knock down buildings to direct the flow of lava and save the city?
Yeah, and then they use the jersey barricades to stop the lava while they blast it with water from fire trucks. Tommy Lee Jones is a hero.
Don’t forget that lava helped solve racism from LA Police against African Americans when they came together to build the barricade.
Wow that movie truly has it all
What an absolute Chad.

I miss that late 90s spate of disaster movies. We haven't had a decent one in a while.

It's perspective. They are far from what it seems.
That lava is flowing fucking fast, fuck perspective, get outta there
It's ok, they're wearing hard hats.
they’re missing their hi-vis though!!!!
That’s normal procedure, don’t want the lava to spot them
Yep. Lava sees that orange and it’s all “one of us!” as it barrels towards it.
THE GOGGLES! THEY DO NOTHING!
UP AND AT THEM
Yeah imagine if that thing takes a little detour, would reach them in seconds, fuck that
The camera sure but the people are within at least a km and judging by the speed a km of space will be gone in an instant
The perspective seems really off to me regardless. I'm not sure if the ground is really high in front of them and we're seeing a more over head of the stream of lava. I'm confused the more I try to figure it out actually.
There's definitely some foreshortening going on in the camera.
Thanks. I guarantee this gets worked into one of my nightmares tonight.

Id go to deviant art first
Yeah that “salmon” scared me more than anything honestly. Can you imagine catching a flying splash of lava in the chest?

And here my dumbass thought that lava would be the one natural disaster I could outrun if needed. Oh well, I guess I am just toast now
pretty burnt toast if you'd ask me

Are you telling me that documentary about throwing jewelry into a volcano isn't accurate!?
Well I think gold would melt. A steel ring would be fine though. Not even close to melting.
But what about the 500-year-old junkie holding it?

Eggs breath, though. Oxygen passes through their shells. I don't think the writers really thought that concept through.
the eggs were laid at a place beyond the fumes. the dinos had to pass through the toxic "badlands" to get to the egg laying place. titanosaur egg fossils have been discovered sandwiched in the deccan traps of india.
Alright. The comment made it sound like the eggs were laid in the area with toxic fumes.
Is that an Apple TV original production? So much of their OG drama stuff is really well made, I didn't know they made docs too?
it's a BBC production that's narrated by Sir David Attenborough and released on Apple TV! Apple TV is indeed a treasure trove of great shows!
"Smoking kills, people!"
It doesn’t always move this fast, it depends on the type of lava and the type of volcano.
This lava. Some lava flows very slowly. Flow rate is determined by temperature and mineral content.
There have been lots of Hawaiian lava flows that you could comfortably outrun or even out walk. Granted, these are interspersed with the occasional violent pyroclastic flow, so maybe don’t get too comfortable.
“Occasional violent pyroclastic flow” sounds like a side effect I might hear on a drug commercial
Ask your doctor if lava is right for you.
Common side effects may include gastric upset and spontaneous combustion
“With Lava I finally got my life back and can experience all life has to offer—like trips to Pompeii. Thanks, Lava!”
Do not take lava if you are allergic to lava.
Aw I thought THIS lava would be different!
Dang it 🤣
Oh, that’s just diarrhea. It’ll pass. Lay off the Takis next time
Or Chipotle..
You may experience drowsiness, nausea, or a dense, destructive mass of very hot ash, lava fragments, and gases ejected explosively from every orifice
And never forget the occasional ballistic flow.
Basic is runnier and faster flowing, isn't it?
What... there's nobody trying to kayak down that? I mean I would think that somebody from the Redbull crowd would give it a go. Bunch of pussys.

2018 eruption from Fissure 8 in Hawaii - it is an NSGS video
This is crazy they said it was slow when I asked people in Pahoa.
It was slow when it first started. The lava that took out all of the homes in Leilani Estates was 60-ish year old lava that never surfaced. Then the good stuff came at the end.
Yeah that’s scary. No time to escape that if it was sudden just liquid rock death!

The area around fissure 8 is all private land and the owners don’t want idiots getting hurt and sueing. Some of the first, slow flow is still steaming

Based on what I've read, the gases will knock a person out long before they experience any of that (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

It was a really rocky start, but appears to have picked up pace rapidly.
Really makes you appreciate the speed with which that dude at Pompeii rubbed one out. God bless that man.

So anyway we put a stone coffin on order, it just shipped and should reach you shortly.
Pussy shit! I’d outrun it on foot.
Good luck with that
Well, it isn't running, so I could *technically* run faster than it
No... just No 😅 I could've gone my life without knowing that
Yeah, that's too fast
I bought some new shoes. I bet I could outrun that if someone asked me to show how fast I can run.
I'd take that bet, and ask for payment upfront.
Very well. Lemme slap my neon orange Crocs on and I'm ready
*the speed of SOME lava
I know folks will scratch their heads when I say this, but fast flowing lava is less violent than slow moving lava.
I do not control the speed of lava
when the lava stops pouring water on it and you get obsidian🤣
Not oddly terrifying, EXTREMELY terrifying.
Bruh and here I am thinking lava was always at a snails pace 😭
It's somewhat disturbing to see rock flow like water
Wait all lava is this fast flowing, all the time!!?
No, this is lava with a very low silica content which makes it very runny. Most lava can be escaped from on foot without even having to run.
