When I learned about matter, I learned that the hotter something is, the faster the particles in it move. If that's true, shouldn't lava move FASTER than water? Hey, it might even make mining slightly dangerous! As in, you're in a cave...

Lava, being much hotter than water, will have far more energetic particles, but that's mainly because at room temperature, and quite a bit above that, it would be a solid, so the energy isn't just going toward movement, it's also going toward seperating those vastly more powerful bonds.
It's a case of viscosity also, lava is vastly thicker than water due to the above reasons, it needs a lot more energy to be put in for it to become a liquid, and a LOT of that energy is put into keeping it that way, typically, lava flows much, much slower than water.
I stand corrected. This is another problem with your idea. :tongue.gif:

I guess it's not a realistic idea, as fun as it sounds to me :tongue.gif:
