Pahoehoe
What is meant by lava flows?
A lava flow is a stream of molten rock that moves downhill from an erupting volcano.
What type of magma is thin moves quickly and flows smoothly?
This would be a lava such as basalt. Note well that when basalt starts to cool it rapidly increases in viscocity and so it's flow rate reduces dramatically.
What is it like in mafic lava?
The mafic lava has dominantly magnesium and iron rich minerals.It flows quickly.
What cools quickly on the earth's surface?
it would be lava , magma is in the ground and flows on earths surface and cools to lava
Why does lava cool rapidly along mid ocean ridge?
Lava flows from the rifts and is cooled quickly by sea water
Which moves fast felsic lava or mafic lava?
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
Basaltic lava flows chill quickly to form tube shaped protuberances called?

What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
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.
