What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
What are three different types of lava?
Basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic
What are two types of hawaiian lava?
ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.
How are the three main types of volcanoes alike?
The three types of vocano are shield, cinder cone, and composite. All three vocano types can be found in the same regions, and all can be live. Although the eruption types are all different, they each can spill out lava and dangerous gasses.
How many kinds of lava exist?
there are 6 types of lava
Are there three types of lava or four?
It depends on what criteria you use. If you go with the kind of flow there are four.Pahoehoe (ropey lava flows)A'a (jagged, more viscous flows)Pillow lava (rounded lumps that form underwater)Block lava (very viscous, very slow moving)The first three are all associated with mafic lava, also called basaltic lava, which refers to a specific composition. Pillow lava is sometimes ignored as are black lava flows, which don't much resemble traditional images of lava.In terms of composition there are also 4 basic types on a spectrum of increasing silica content and viscosityMafic (basaltic)Intermediate (andesitic)Intermediate-felsic (dacitic)Felsic (rhyolitic)These can be further subdivided. Another, rare kind of lava exists called carbonatite. This strange lava is composed of carbobnates rather than silicates as the others are, and is only found in one volcano: Ol Doinyo Lengai in Tanzania.
What are the three types of volcanoes and what are the difference?
cinder strato and shield shield is the least dangerous and the lava slowly flowsa down cinder erupts tephra not lava like a shield and is cone shaped strato is the most dangerous it erupts both tephra and lava
The different types of eruptions that result from different types of lava?
Different types of lava result in different types of volcanic eruptions. Basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity, typically leads to effusive eruptions characterized by gentle flows. Andesitic or dacitic lava, with higher viscosity, can cause explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. Rhyolitic lava, the most viscous type, tends to form dome eruptions with slow-moving lava flows and explosive activity.
What are the different types of lava?
A'a Pahoehoe Pillow Lava The difference between the lava is the elements and amount of water inside the volcano. Also, the thickness of the lava.There are 4 different types of lava flows maybe more
What are the names of hawaiian type lava?
The two types of lava are aa and pāhoehoe.
What types of rock does lava formed?
When lava cools it forms extrusive igneous rock.
The three types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are the largest of the three types of volcanoes, built from basaltic lava flows and shaped like a gentle dome. Cinder cone volcanoes have very steep slopes and reach heights of 300 meters or less, and are made from ejected lava. Composite Cone Volcanoes are large symmetrical cones made from viscous lavas that are extruded, and they are the most violent volcanoes of the three.
