What else can I help you with?
What are runny and sticky lava?
Runny lava contains low amounts of silicon, whereas sticky lava contains high amounts of silicon.
Is it basic lava or basaltic lava?
It's basaltic lava, not basic.
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
Is basaltic lava less fluid than andesitic lava?
No, basaltic lava is typically more fluid than andesitic lava due to its lower silica content. This results in basaltic lava flowing more easily and spreading over larger areas compared to andesitic lava.
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.
What type of lava comes from what volcano?
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
What type of lava does shield a shield volcano have?
Mafic, more commonly called Basaltic.
What type of lava comes out of shield volcano?
Basaltic lava.
