What kind of eruption produces pahoehoe and AA types of lava?
Quiet eruptions
Is mtn etna explosive or quiet and lava or pyroclastic flow?
Mount Etna has had both explosive and "quiet" eruptions and has produced lava flows, lava fountains, and pyroclastic flows.
Which types of eruptions produce pahoehoe lava?
Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava flow. The kind of eruption that causes pahoehoe is a quiet volcanic eruption.
Do basalt plateaus form from explosive or quiet eruptions?
Quiet eruptions are a characteristic of basalt lava flows and plateaus.
What kind of eription is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcan?
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
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 are two characteristics of quiet eruptions?
Quiet volcanos are ones that explode slowly. Two characteristics of quiet eruptions are slow flowing lava and broad sheets of lava. The lava from a quiet eruption stays runny and flowing for a longer period of time than an explosive eruption does.
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low is silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
What are the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava-?
Pahoehoe is hot, fast-moving lava that has a low viscosity. AA lava has a cooler temperature and moves more slowly. Quiet eruptions are the type that produce these two types of lava.
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcano?

What do quiet lava eruptions generally result from?
Volcanic eruptions are always caused by magma. This applies if the eruption is quiet or explosive, or whether the magma is felsic or mafic.
Does felsic lava create violent or quiet eruptions?
Felsic lava, due to its high viscosity and generally high gas content tends to produce violent eruptions.
