yes they srill happen. for example the volcanoe in Hawaii is constantly erupting but its just lava flow not a violent eruption
Neither. Krakatoa mostly produces ash and pumice rather than lava flows. Those lava flows that do occur are block lava flows, indicating material more viscous than a'a or pahoehoe.
A'a can occur at composite volcanoes, but block lava flows, which are far more viscous, are more common.
Basalt is a type of volcanic erock. It forms when lava that is low in silica and rich in iron and magnesium cools and hardens at or above Earth's surface, most often in the form of lava flows.

A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
the opening where the lava flows is call a vent

lava.
No. Lava flows vary in composition. Most lava flows consist of basaltic lava, which can flow as smooth phoehoe or form jagged and broken a'a. Other lava flows are more viscous and will have blocky surfaces and tend to be short and thick.
Lava flow
Lava flows can be stopped or deflected by ridges, valleys and depressions in the ground.
When lava flows reach the sea, the lava rapidy cools to form an igneous rock.
Yes. Lava flows can be extremely destructive. Since most lava flows move slowly, though, relatively few people have been killed by them.
