What is the most common type of rock in the earth?
Continental crust--granite. Oceanic crust--basalt.
What type of lava forms from kilauea?
Kilauea produces basaltic lava, which is the most common type.
What is the major component of oceanic crust?
The major component of oceanic crust is basalt, which is a type of mafic rock that forms from solidified volcanic lava flows. Basalt is rich in iron and magnesium and is the most common rock type found in the oceanic crust.
What type of lava is most dangerous?
the most dangerous type of lava is sticky lava because slow moving acid lava is more vicious
Which type of rock is formed when hot lava cools?
Hot lava, when cooled and solidified, forms igneous rocks. Examples include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
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.
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
The magma type for a lava dome is typically viscous and silica-rich. This type of magma often leads to slower, more explosive eruptions that result in the gradual buildup of a dome-shaped feature composed of solidified lava.
Is hardened lava a mineral?
Hardened lava is considered igneous rock, composed of minerals.
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.
Which type of rocks are most abundent on earth?
Igneous rocks are the most common type of rocks on earth.
Which is volcanic lava rock basaltic or granitic?
The most common type of lava is basaltic. However some lavas may be andesitic or ryolitic. Rhyolite is the extrustive equivalent of granite.
What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
