The type of lava that is thick in consistency and barely creeps along the ground is known as "andesitic lava." This lava has a higher viscosity due to its composition, which includes higher silica content compared to basaltic lava. As a result, it flows slowly and can build up into steep-sided volcanic domes or plug formations. The thick nature of andesitic lava often leads to explosive volcanic activity when pressure builds up beneath the surface.
