2. Thick or runny lava. Thick flows slowly, runny flows faster.
Cooled lava produces extrusive igneous rock.
there are 6 types of lava

the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
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.
Extrusive igneous rock structures: Lava flow or plateau, Volcano (many types), Crater, Caldera, Fissure.
A lava flow consists of extremely hot molten rock.
Lava flow.
ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.
When the lava ejected is too thick to flow, it solidifies near the vent and can form a dome-shaped feature called a lava dome. Lava domes are typically made of highly viscous lava, which does not flow easily. They can grow slowly over time as more lava is added to the dome from the eruption.
The village threatened by the 1983 lava flow in Hawaii was Kalapana. It was eventually destroyed by the lava flow from the Kilauea Volcano.
