What type of lava is fluid thin and flows smoothly.?
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 lava flows the slowest?
Viscous lava, such as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, flows the slowest due to its high silica content. This type of lava tends to be thicker and more resistant to flow compared to basaltic lava, which is more fluid and flows more quickly.
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.
WHERE DOES LAVA COOLS QUICKLY?
Lava cools quickly when it comes into contact with water, such as in the ocean or a river, where it can solidify rapidly due to the contrast in temperature. Additionally, lava can cool quickly when it flows over ice or snow-covered terrain, causing it to solidify and form unique lava formations.
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.
Do some volcanoes actually ooze?
Yes, some volcanoes can indeed ooze lava, especially those with low viscosity magma which flows more smoothly. This type of lava often results in slow, continuous flows rather than explosive eruptions. Volcanoes like Hawaii's Kilauea are known for this type of oozing lava activity.
