Pahoehoe lava flows like highly molten syrup

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Nature decided that molten rock should occasionally mimic pancake batter. This specific type of basaltic extrusion oozes out with surprisingly low viscosity, forming smooth, continuous layers that look entirely too appetizing for something that would instantly incinerate you. It cools into weirdly ropy textures that perfectly freeze its sluggish, syrupy descent.
