During lava flow on steep slopes, which cooling mechanism maximizes 'A'a formation?

💡 Explanation

Radiative heat loss promotes rapid crust formation, because increased surface tension leads to brittle fracturing, forming 'A'a lava. Therefore, cooling increases surface roughness rather than shear thinning reducing viscosity alternatives.
