Is pahoehoe lava only found in Hawaii?
No. Many shield volcanoes produces pahoehoe.
Do shield volcanoes have pahoehoe lava?
Not always. Shield volcanoes produce basaltic lava, which can form into either pahoehoe or a'a. Sometimes both are found in the same lava flow.
How does pahoehoe form?
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 are two types of volcanoes?
composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes
Why would pahoehoe and a'a lava erupt from shield volcanoes?
Pahoehoe and a'a are textural variaties of basaltic lava, which has a low viscosity, meaning it flows fairly easily. This is the reason for the gentle slopes of shield volcanoes.
