So are you treating the Earth's crust as a shallow fluid layer? Or the mantle underneath? I would think the mantle is too thick for shallow water equations.
Usually for the troposphere or even the atmosphere and the ocean this can be a good model. As you said, I doubt if it can be used to represent lava flows under the earth - something a geologist would know and I am not one. 😀
