Can you outrun a pyroclastic flow?
No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
What are gentle slopes of basaltic lava flow?
canthentian volcano
What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
Which type of basaltic lava has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of ropes?
A rope shaped or billowy shaped flow is a form of basaltic lava known as Pahoehoe.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.

No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.

canthentian volcano
What is the term for large volcanos gradually built from basaltic lava flow?
shield volcanoes
If a lava flow at earths surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely be?
A Mafic Extrusive Igneous Rock.

A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Does basalt or rhyolite flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
Could a galloping horse outrun the fastest lava flow?
Yes, top speed a horse can reach an average of about 45mph this is much faster then the fastest lava flow,
Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?
Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.
What type of lava is least likely to form a pyroclastic flow?
Well, the least would most likley be in the hot spots.
