Aloha: You will hear ʻā pele (rough lava) and pāhoehoe (smooth). This is (ay pay-lay and pay-hoay-hoay). Most of the time, we just say ʻā (like the letter A).
Pahoehoe lava
it's called 'a'Ä (often written as aa)
ropey lava = Pāhoehoe
The wrinkled lava, often described as having a "ropey" appearance, is known as pahoe-hoe. It is very common in active Hawaiian volcanoes.
It means "lava" or sharp jagged 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.
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.

ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.
Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
No. Pahoehoe is lava that forms a smooth, ropey surface. It may flow relatively quickly at times, but often flows very slowly.
In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
It could be a scream, singing, type of Hawaiian lava, or a name. :-0 :-o ;-) :-P

Lava fountains can be associated with Strombolian and occasionally Hawaiian eruptions.
