Randal Munroe of xkcd fame collaborated with Minute Physics to solve this problem. How to build a Lava Moat:
It’s a collaboration to promote the new book “How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems“. Since “What If” and “Thing Explainer” I expect this book to, once again, be fantastically absurd but scientifically accurate.
If you don’t know xkcd yet, get on over there and lose a couple of hours. It’s a webcomic about all sorts nerdery included geoscience! The comic has gained such a following that fans submitted Munroe’s name for an Asteroid.
So go ahead, watch the awesome video, sink some time into xkcd, then go on and enjoy the books!
