Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava flow. The kind of eruption that causes pahoehoe is a quiet volcanic eruption.

What ate the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava?
Pahoehoe and AA lava are produced by quiet eruptions. This means that instead of a blast or explosion, the lava just flows out of the volcano. Pahoehoe lava is hot and flows quickly. AA lava is cooler in temperature and doesn't flow as quickly.
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.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have AA lava or pahoehoe lava?
Pahoehoe and a'a refer to different texutres of lava flows. Although cindercones can produce lava flows, their main mode of eruption is called "fire fountaining" which tends to produce chunks of lava called scoria, rather than pahoehoe or a'a.
Name the two types of lava?
Blocky Lava, Pahoehoe Lava, Aa Lava, Pillow Lava
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
What types of lava are produced by quiet eruptions?
Pahoehoe and another
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.
What kind of eruption produces pahoehoe and AA types of lava?
Quiet eruptions

Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
Is there a pahoehoe in a volcanic explosive eruption?
Not usually. Pahoehoe refers specifically to a lava flows. These can occur in mildly explosive eruptions, but usually explosive eruptions to not produce lava flows. Instreat they produce clouds of ash with some lapilli and pumice. Pryoclastic flows often result. These are fast-moving avalanches of superheated ash, gas and pumice. These form a kind of volcanic rock called tuff.

Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
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 do lava flows made of pahoehoe and AA indicate about the the type of volcanic eruptions and occurred?
Lava flows of pahoehoe and aa indicate that the eruption was effusive ("quiet") rather than explosive, or only very mildly explosive.
