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 type of magma is produced in the Kilauea?
pahoehoe
What type of magma is produced in Kilauea?
pahoehoe
What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
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 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.
What type of magma is produced in the Kilauea?
pahoehoe
What type of magma is produced in Kilauea?
pahoehoe
WhAT Magma type most often forms at hot spots?
Pahoehoe lava
What are the differences between pahoehoe and AA What kind of eruption produces these type of lava?
The differences are that Pahoehoe produces fast moving lava; Aa produces slower moving lava. The kind of eruption that produces these types of lava is a quiet eruption.
What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.

Is a'a or pahoehoe lava better for making lava tubes?
Lava tubes are usually produces by pahoehoe.
Why does magma rise to the crust above it?
Magma rises through the crust above it because of pressure and depending on the magma (Pahoehoe or Aa). Pahoehoe is thin and runny and pours outside of the crust but, Aa is think and chunky and it can not pour out of a crack in the crust. It is more likely to blow out.
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
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.
What kind of eruption produces pahoehoe and AA types of lava?
Quiet eruptions
