Pahoehoe lavas typically have a temperature of 1100 to 1200 °C.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
Does pahoehoe make obsidian?
No. Pahoehoe forms basalt.
What is the consistency of pahoehoe lava?
Magma does not become paho'eho'e. It either comes out fast [pahoehoe] or slow [a'a]. I'm not sure about the cooling rate of the magma because you did not provide your question with a descriptive answer of its viscosity, temperature, etc.
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 kinds of eruption produces pahoehoe and AA?
Aa and pahoehoe are both produced from basalt lava eruptions. The difference in the two being a difference in temperature. Pahoehoe is a hotter flow, moving more smoothly before cooling into rope-like structures. Aa is a bit cooler, forming solid chunks, but continuing to move.
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.
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.
Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.
What are the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava-?
Pahoehoe is hot, fast-moving lava that has a low viscosity. AA lava has a cooler temperature and moves more slowly. Quiet eruptions are the type that produce these two types of lava.
