Would a'a form lava tubes or pahoehoe?
Lava tubes are characteristic of pahoehoe, as it can maintain a solid crust. With a'a the crust on the flows is constantly breaking.
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.
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.
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.
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 kind of lava does pahoehoe form?
all lava
What are the three types of lava?
Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
What type of lava flows are found on the moon?
The types of lava flows that are found on the moon are lava tubes, block lava, aa lava and pahoehoe lava. The youngest lava found on the moon is about 2000 years old, while the oldest lava flow is about 15,000 years old.
