Hawaiian tholeiitic basalt magmas as they reach the surface have temperatures of 1050°–1200° C, viscosities of 2–4 × 103 poises, and gas contents ranging from 0.5 to 2 weight per cent. Below the level of vesiculation they have a specific gravity of about 2.73. Flows continue in motion to apparent temperatures less than 800°. This content is PDF only.
