What is a pluton a dike a lahar a lava flow or a pyroclast?
A pluton is a dike.
What type of lava does Arenal have?
blocky lava flow
Is a dike a intrusive ingneouse rock or a extrusive rock ingneouse?
A dike is an intrusive igneous rock. It is a vertical intrusion that is usually associated with a central magma chamber. It is intrusive because it usually does not reach the surface. When a dike does reach the surface, the magma it countains erupts and forms an extrusive lava flow.
What forms when lava flows vertically a layer of rock?
dike
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.
What is a pluton a dike a lahar a lava flow or a pyroclast?
A pluton is a dike.
What is a sentence using the word dike?

What type of simple machine is a dike?

What type of lava flow does mt.kailauea have?
The type of lava flow that Mt. Kilauea has is a pahoehoe flow. This flow involves lava flowing into sheets after eruption. Once its top has cooled, the bottom layer moves under it resembling "a rope."

What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
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.
What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
What type of lava flow does mount meakan have?
