What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
What is the smooth lava flow called?
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
Which type of basaltic lava has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of ropes?
A rope shaped or billowy shaped flow is a form of basaltic lava known as Pahoehoe.
What is it called when magma erupts onto the surface of the volcano?
lava
What is molten rock outside a Volcano on Earth's surface called?
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava
What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
Which type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope?
Pahoehoe lava flows are characterized as having a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope. These particular flows a fed internally by a liquid beneath a solidified or partially solidified surface.
What is Pahoehoe used for?
Pahoehoe lava forms by small pieces of lava from an irregular flow. It is typical in certain types of volcanoes such as shield volcanoes.
What is the smooth lava flow called?
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
Is pahoehoe fast moving hot lava?
No. Pahoehoe is lava that forms a smooth, ropey surface. It may flow relatively quickly at times, but often flows very slowly.
What is a type of lava?
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.

Is the force is greater on a smooth surface or on a rough surface?
smooth surface.
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
What is the slow moving and hot moving lava called in Hawaiian?
pahoehoe is the more smooth lava flows. a'a is the very jagged, sharp lava.
