Does mt st Helens have pahoehoe or AA lava?
Niether. Pahoehoe and a'a are both varieties of basaltic lava. The material from Pinatobo is of a dacitic composition, which is much more viscous than a'a or pahoehoe. It tends to erupt explosively, producing ash and pumice rather than lava flows. When dacitic lava does flow it creates a block lava flow.

No. Mount St Helens would produce block lava flows rather than pahhoehoe or a'a because of the high silica content. Currently there are no lava flows on that volcano but there is a lava dome made primarily of dacite.
What is the lava in mid oceanic volcanoes made of?
Lava in mid-oceanic volcanoes is typically basaltic in composition. Basalt lava is relatively low in silica content and flows more easily compared to other types of lava. It often forms underwater pillow lava structures when it comes in contact with seawater.
What is the difference between lava flow lava fountains and lava tubes?
A lava flow is basically a stream of lava on the surface. A lava tube is an underground cave through which lava flows downhill. A lava fountain is lava shooting into the air out of a volcano in much the same manner as a water fountain.

What is Pahoehoe used for?
Pahoehoe is a type of lava flow that has a smooth, ropy texture. It is formed when low-viscosity basaltic lava flows and cools quickly, creating a distinctive wavy surface. Pahoehoe flows can be seen in volcanic regions and are a popular attraction for tourists.

Is molten rock and lava flow the same thing?
Not exactly. Molten rock is called either magma or lava depending on whether it is underground or above ground. When lava flows on the surface like a river or flood it is called a lava flows, but lava is not always flowing downhill. Sometimes it can collect in a pool called a lava lake, or be flung into the air in a lava fountain.
What do you call when lava beneath the crust?
Magma; they are both the same substance, but lava has been exposed to the surface.
