What type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth unfragmented ropy surface?
Pahoehoe lava.
When lava hardens quickly to form ropy formation it is called what?
it is called pahoehoe
What type of lava flows most like dripping wax?
Pāhoehoe lava flows most like dripping wax. Pāhoehoe is a type of basaltic lava that has a low viscosity, giving it a smooth and ropy appearance as it flows. This type of lava can form various features, including smooth channels and dripping formations that resemble dripping wax.
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.
What type of magma produces pahoehoe?
Magma that is low in silica flows readily and produces dark-colored lava. Therefore magma that is low in silica produces Pahoehoe lava. This is called mafic or basaltic magma.
What is a pahoehoe flow?
Pahoehoe lava is a lava type flowing from volcanic eruptions. It is not to be confused with Aa lava. Pahoehoe is smooth and ropy lava, cooling into a ropy texture. Aa, on the other hand, is stony and rough. On another note (take this as you will): I would rather stand on Aa lava because it is cooler, characterised simply by its viscosity. Pahoehoe is at around 1100-12000C, as opposed to 1000-1100 for Aa. Please do not stand in either.

Pahoehoe lava.
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.

it is called pahoehoe
What is the different between aa and pahoehoe?
+Pahoehoe is basaltic lava forming smooth undulating(moving with a smooth wavelike motion) or ropy masses.It is contrasted to AAAA is basaltic lava forming very rough jagged masses with sharp projections and a light frothy texture. Pahoehoe+Both are types of lava. Aa is sharp (so you say Aaah as you walk on it), whereas pahoehoe is smooth

What is Pahoehoe used for?
Pahoehoe lava forms by small pieces of lava from an irregular flow. It is typical in certain types of volcanoes such as shield volcanoes.

What is a four letter adjective that means the same as thick?
ropy
Who made geometry dash?
roptop aka ropy topalo
Is mycelium the fuzzy visible mass on mold?
can be either fuzzy or ropy looking.
