Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St Helens produces blocky lava.
Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles is called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?
Not necessarily. All pahoehoe is basaltic, but not all basaltic lava is pahoehoe. A'a and scoria are also basaltic.
How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
What is the difference between pahoehoe and lava?
Pahoehoe is faster moving lava and AA is slower moving lava. Both types are found in basaltic type eruptions. They have different appearances. Pahoehoe is smooth and ropey where as AA is chunky and rough.(much like top of trees) Often a pahoehoe flow can change to an AA flow depending upon the type of slope it encounters. The steeper the slope the more likely AA lava will be present. Aa has more viscosity than Pahoehoe.
Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St Helens produces blocky lava.
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
What is the difference between pahoehoe and AA lava?
The difference between Pahoehoe lava and AA lava is that pahoehoe lava is smooth and AA lava is jagged.
Is a'a or pahoehoe lava better for making lava tubes?
Lava tubes are usually produces by pahoehoe.
Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles is called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
Fast moving hot lava that has low viscosity is called?
Pahoehoe is fast-moving,hot lava that has low viscosity.
Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?
Not necessarily. All pahoehoe is basaltic, but not all basaltic lava is pahoehoe. A'a and scoria are also basaltic.

What type of lava is erupted from Mount Kilimanjaro?
Mt. Fuji is Japan's highest mountain. The lava that comes out of this volcano is silica-poor lava that is very thick and chunky.
Which types of eruptions produce pahoehoe lava?
Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava flow. The kind of eruption that causes pahoehoe is a quiet volcanic eruption.
What is Mount Kilimanjaro made of?
it is made up of igneous rocks, magma,and hot lava
