Is dike a type of lava flow?
No, a dike is not a type of Lava flow.
What type of materials are ejected during the Kilauea volcanic eruption?
Kiluaea is classified as a shielf volcano which means that is produces very fluid lava flows giving it the distinct shape that it has today. This type of eruption is produced by Basaltic magma. Basalt is a type of lava that is very fluid in nature and does not produce explosive eruptions on its own. This type of magma is the hottest in temperature of any type, also the ability for it to flow allows for the gasses dissolved into it to escape readily from it making the eruption styles very placid in nature.
Why does the Kilauea have slow eruptions?
because pahoehoe is a slow erupting kind of lava as well as the fact that kilauea is a hawaiian volcano (that is the type)
What was the cost of damages for kilauea?
Kilauea has caused relatively little damage, as its constant eruption from the 1980s has been a slow, steady flow of lava which people can slow by using trenches or move without much hurry before lava reaches them.
What type of lava does Arenal have?
blocky lava flow
What type of lava flow does mt.kailauea have?
The type of lava flow that Mt. Kilauea has is a pahoehoe flow. This flow involves lava flowing into sheets after eruption. Once its top has cooled, the bottom layer moves under it resembling "a rope."
What type of lava forms from kilauea?
Kilauea produces basaltic lava, which is the most common type.
What type of magma does Kilauea have?
pillow lava
Does kilauea have pahoehoe or AAA lava?
Kilauea produced both pahoehoe and a'a. These terms refer to the texture that a basaltic lava flow can take on and do not mean a difference in composition. Ofteb Kilauea's lava starts out as pahoehoe and becomes a'a as it cools an becomes more viscous.
Is dike a type of lava flow?
No, a dike is not a type of Lava flow.
What type of volcanic rock fragments or lava come out of the kilauea volcano?
Kilauea generally produces lava flows and lava fountains. Its current activity has also involved the formation of lava lakes. All of the lava involved is basaltic.

Is kilauea high in silica?
No. Kilauea erupts low-silica lava.
What surrounds kilauea?
Kilauea volcano is surrounded by land and completely by its black lava.
