Pahoehoe lava is blue and black in color and forms in a swirling pattern. Up close, the pattern looks like long pieces of spaghetti.
What else can I help you with?
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?
Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.
Does pahoehoe make obsidian?
No. Pahoehoe forms basalt.
How do you pronounce Pahoehoe?
It is pronounced as "puh-hoy-hoy."
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?
Fast moving hot lava with low viscosity is called "pahoehoe." It has a smooth, ropy texture due to its high temperature and low resistance to flow.
What is the pahoehoe temperature?
Pahoehoe lavas typically have a temperature of 1100 to 1200 °C.
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.
What is Pahoehoe used for?
Pahoehoe is a type of lava flow that has a smooth, ropy texture. It is formed when low-viscosity basaltic lava flows and cools quickly, creating a distinctive wavy surface. Pahoehoe flows can be seen in volcanic regions and are a popular attraction for tourists.
Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.
What color is Pahoehoe lava?
Pahoehoe lava is blue and black in color and forms in a swirling pattern. Up close, the pattern looks like long pieces of spaghetti.
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.
