What are the four types of lava that form at hot spots and their characteristics?
Aa is lava that forms a thick ,brittle crust . Pahoehoe is a lava that forms a thin crust. Pillow lava forms when lava erupts underwater. Blocky lava is kool, stiff lava that does not travel far from thr eruption site.
The different types of eruptions that result from different types of lava?
the elements and amount of water inside the volcano. Also, the thickness of the lava.
Why would lava flow faster through a lava tube than it would above ground?
The solidified lava forming the walls of the lava tube will act to insulate the molten lava. It will therefore cool more slowly than lava at the surface and so will have a lower viscosity (it will be more runny) and so will flow faster than lava at the surface.
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.

2. Thick or runny lava. Thick flows slowly, runny flows faster.
What is faster lava or volcanic dust?
Lava is known to have flowed at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, which much faster than volcanic dust could travel.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?

Is magma faster than lava?
Lava is magma, that has reached the surface.
Between mafic lava and felsic lava which flowsfaster?
Mafic lava is hotter than felsic lava and therefore flows faster.
The different types of eruptions that result from different types of lava?
the elements and amount of water inside the volcano. Also, the thickness of the lava.
How many kinds of lava exist?
