Molten rock
I would say that the Loihi Volcano is dormant but also it another type of volcano . That i forgot the name of .
Loihi is generally not explosive as it produces basaltic lava. Since the vent is still under water it mainly produces pillow basalts. As the growing seamount reaches the ocean surface the potential will arise for occasional phreatic eruptions, which can be explosive.
Loihi is pronounced as "loh-EE-hee".
The Loihi Island/Volcano is estimated to grow about 1 metre every ten years. So it is expected to break the surface of the ocean in about 9000 years. (i hope it can hold its breath) =D
The volcano is a sheild, undersea or also called a seamount volcano.
what type of lava does mt.redoubt have
Loihi has not killed anyone as it is still thousands of feet underwater.
rhyolite is a type of lava
runny lava
the most dangerous type of lava is sticky lava because slow moving acid lava is more vicious
1996
Mount Usu in Japan typically erupts with andesitic lava, which is a type of intermediate lava with a higher silica content compared to basaltic lava. Andesitic lava flows tend to be slower-moving and more viscous than basaltic lava.
