Intro: Volcanic erruptions - often misrepresented

-Avatar the Last Airbender (the tv show) season 1 episode 14
-The lava that runs down the hillside is very fast moving, like water.
This would not be the case
In addition, volcanoes that have explosive eruptions with huge clouds of smoke do not also have lava flow.  They have debris.
-What could have been done that would be more appropriate to the level of fear the lava causes is make it a lahar- it is more fast moving and dangerous.
The same issue can be seen in Disney's Aladdin, although it can be argued that it is magic lava and doesn't come from a volcano.
-Here is an example of a volcano that has an eruption animated for comedic effect. But they explain it as a fluke, and in no way magical since the two aren't gods, so realistically, this could not happen either.
