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.

Generally, lava is classified by its composition which may range from highly felsic (high in silica) to ultramafic (low in silica). Most lava can be classified as felsic or mafic.

The two types of lava I know about is AA {pronounced ah-ah} and Pahoehoe {pronounced fa-hoe-hoe}. AA is chunky and Phahoehoe flows like warm honey.
