What type of lava flows the slowest?
Rhyolitic
What are 3 kinds of magma?
Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, and Rhyolitic Lava :] (glad to help)
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What type of lava does Yellowstone caldera have?
Both rhyolitic and basaltic lava flows have been found in the Yellowstone Caldera. There are alro large deposits of rhyolitic tuff.
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.

Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
What are three different types of lava?
Basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic

Does Yellowstone volcano have lava tubes?
No. Lava tubes generally form with basaltic lava. The rhyolitic lava that the Yellowstone volcano would produce is to viscous.
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
Lava domes usually form with very viscous rhyolitic or dacitic magma.
How is basaltic lava different from granitic lava?
Basaltic lava is far less viscous, has less silica, erupts at a higher temperature and is denser than granitic lava (properly called rhyolitic lava when it is on the surface). Basaltic lava is composed primarily of pyroxenes and calcium rich plagioclase with small amounts of olivine. Rhyolitic lava primarily contains alkali feldspars and quartz.
What kind of lava does a lava volcano have?
The textbook answer would be granitic or rhyolitic lava. In reality composite volcanoes are highly variable, erupting the full range from basaltic to rhyolitic (granitic) materal and everything in between includin andesite and dacite. One composite volcano in Africa erupts unique carbonatite lava.
Does rhyolite lava have high viscosity?
Yes. Rhyolitic lava is extremely viscous, thousands to hundreds of thousands times more viscous that basaltic lava.
