∙ 10y agoA'a is one of two types of flow of basaltic (mafic) lava. A'a is the more viscous of the two and is usually somewhat cooler than the other variety, pahoehoe. A'a forms a surface of jagged rock fragments as it flows.

Name the two types of lava?
Blocky Lava, Pahoehoe Lava, Aa Lava, Pillow Lava
How are blocky lava and aa lava similar?
it hurts to walk on both, and they are both lava. Aa is a rough jagged surface, while I have no idea about blocky lava.
What type of lava is thick stiff and does not flow easily?
Aa lava is the type of lava that forms a thick, brittle crust.
Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St Helens produces blocky lava.
What types of lava come from the San Cristobal volcano?
aa lava
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.
Name the two types of lava?
Blocky Lava, Pahoehoe Lava, Aa Lava, Pillow Lava
What are the three types of lava?
Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
How are blocky lava and aa lava similar?
it hurts to walk on both, and they are both lava. Aa is a rough jagged surface, while I have no idea about blocky lava.
What type of lava did Eyjafjallajökull produce?
It had high silica lava, or AA lava.
What type of lava is thick stiff and does not flow easily?
Aa lava is the type of lava that forms a thick, brittle crust.
Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St Helens produces blocky lava.
Is aa lava explosive lava?
No. A lava flow usually indicates an eruption that is not explosive.
Sharp pointy lava that hurts your feet when you walk on it?
AA lava
What types of lava come from the San Cristobal volcano?
aa lava
What does AA mean in terms of Earth Science?
AA: jagged chunks of lava formed by rapid cooling on the surface of a lava flow
What ate the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava?
Pahoehoe and AA lava are produced by quiet eruptions. This means that instead of a blast or explosion, the lava just flows out of the volcano. Pahoehoe lava is hot and flows quickly. AA lava is cooler in temperature and doesn't flow as quickly.
