I wonder if the surface of ancient Earth looked like that volcano lake surface?

What do they call those lines in the molten volcano lake that look a bit like lightning?

“Popocatepetl minor eruption at the moment”. Darn, can’t see it now, the clouds came in.

Two good questions.. I’m not sure the word exists. I had a look through lava-related words on http://www.onelook.com/?loc=rz7&w=*&clue=lava*&clue=lava and it wasn’t there. On the molten “lava lake” the solid sections are “rafts”.

It makes sense that the surface of the early Earth might have looked like that. Particularly after the impact that formed the Moon. But perhaps not very often, as the Earth formed by “cold accretion” of planetesimals. That’s only cold before impact of course, things would get locally and sometimes globally very hot after impact.

Or “crust” ofr“slabs”.

“The churning of the convecting lava beneath has broken apart this crust into a number of different slabs; in the picture above, the boundaries are marked by the lines of bright molten lava, creating a dramatic natural jigsaw puzzle.”

if you built aquaducts then you could release water from a dam very efficiently, the water travelling nicely along thanks to the gradient AND then having some decent meters head because the water flows down from the aquaduct in a pipe

the farmer would then turn on the water when he was allowed to
