The two main types of lava are pahoehoe, which has a smooth, rope-like texture, and aa, which has a rough, jagged texture. They differ in their viscosity and flow characteristics, with pahoehoe being more fluid and aa being more viscous.

What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
The different types of eruptions that result from different types of lava?
Different types of lava result in different types of volcanic eruptions. Basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity, typically leads to effusive eruptions characterized by gentle flows. Andesitic or dacitic lava, with higher viscosity, can cause explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. Rhyolitic lava, the most viscous type, tends to form dome eruptions with slow-moving lava flows and explosive activity.
How did AA lava get its name?
Aa lava is a basaltic lava with a flow characterized by rough surfaces of clinker.
What two types of igneous rock are formed as magma or lava cools?
The two types of igneous rock are extrusive, those formed from molten material at or on the surface; and intrusive, those that solidify from molten material below ground.
Name two things which are expelled from a volcano?
Lava and ash are two things that can be expelled from a volcano during an eruption. Lava is molten rock that flows out of the volcano, while ash consists of tiny rock particles and glass fragments that can be carried by the wind.
What are two types of hawaiian lava?
ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.
What are the names of hawaiian type lava?

What are two types of volcanic activity that do not involve the eruption of lava?
focus
What are the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava-?
Pahoehoe is hot, fast-moving lava that has a low viscosity. AA lava has a cooler temperature and moves more slowly. Quiet eruptions are the type that produce these two types of lava.
What are the three types of lava?
Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
