Computations are carried out of the rates of surface cooling and lateral flow of lavas extruded onto the surfaces of terrestrial planets and the outer planet satellites, and the likely flow morphologies predicted by extrapolation of the laboratory analog results are determined. Results of this approach are presented for the earth, Venus, Mars, the moon, and the silicate flows on Io. The experiments, which involved the spreading of a viscous liquid under gravity in the presence of a solidifying surface crust, revealed a set of four distinct surface morphologies.
