∙ 11y agoaa (ah-ah) lava flows are super jagged in texture and can be called blocky. There are also block flows that are not as jagged but similar to aa. i think the answer is aa.

it hurts to walk on both, and they are both lava. Aa is a rough jagged surface, while I have no idea about blocky lava.
How did AA lava get its name?
Aa lava is a basaltic lava with a flow characterized by rough surfaces of clinker.
What does the Hawaiian term AA mean?
It means "lava" or sharp jagged lava
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.
What forms when magma cools and hardens?
Volcano lava forms as rocks as it cools down. Rocks are formed with magma and lava which when cooled down would form as rough matters. Rare lava parts are formed up like ruby, diamonds, and even emeralds.
What is AAA lava?
Lava that hardens into rough , jagged rocks with a crumbly feeling aka blocky lava

The difference between Pahoehoe lava and AA lava is that pahoehoe lava is smooth and AA lava is jagged.
What is AA and pahoehoe?
AA is a type of basaltic lava characterized by a rough, jagged surface due to rapid cooling and solidification. Pahoehoe is another type of basaltic lava with a smooth, ropy texture formed when the outer layer of lava cools and solidifies, while the molten interior continues to flow.
What forms when magma cools and hardens?
Volcano lava forms as rocks as it cools down. Rocks are formed with magma and lava which when cooled down would form as rough matters. Rare lava parts are formed up like ruby, diamonds, and even emeralds.
Is basalt smooth?
It can be if it takes the form of a type of lava flow called pahoehoe. However, basalt may also come in the form of jagged a'a flows.
What does AA mean in terms of Earth Science?
AA: jagged chunks of lava formed by rapid cooling on the surface of a lava flow
