What is the pahoehoe temperature?

Pahoehoe lavas typically have a temperature of 1100 to 1200 °C.


Does krakatau have low or high viscosity?

Krakatau has low viscosity due to its basaltic composition. This means that the lava flows more easily and quickly compared to more viscous lavas like andesitic or rhyolitic lavas.


Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?

Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.


Are Basaltic lavas are generally hotter and more viscous than andesite lavas?

No, basaltic lavas are typically hotter and less viscous than andesite lavas. Basaltic lavas have lower silica content, which results in their lower viscosity and ability to flow more easily. Andesite lavas, on the other hand, have higher silica content and are more viscous.


Are Basaltic lavas generally hotter and more viscous than andesite lavas?

Basaltic lavas are generally hotter and less viscous than andesite lavas. Basaltic lavas have lower silica content, which makes them flow more easily. Andesite lavas, on the other hand, have higher silica content, making them cooler and more viscous.


Are Sticky thicker lavas rich in silica?

Yes, sticky thicker lavas are rich in silica. This high silica content makes them more viscous and less likely to flow easily, leading to more explosive volcanic eruptions. Examples of these lavas include dacite and rhyolite.


Fluid basaltic lavas commonly form?

Fluid basaltic lavas commonly form from low-viscosity magma with high temperatures and low silica content. When erupted, these lavas tend to flow long distances and form thin, low-angle lava flows that can extend for many kilometers before solidifying. Basaltic lavas are common at hot spot volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and shield volcanoes.


Fluid basaltic lavas like those in hawaii commonly form what?

Fluid basaltic lavas such as rhyolite and dacite typically form thick short lavas namely lava spines, lava domes or coulees.


Is the composition of the hawaiian lavas felsic or mafic?

The composition of Hawaiian lavas is typically mafic, as they are rich in magnesium and iron and have a lower silica content. This composition gives them low viscosity and allows them to flow easily.


What is the plural of son lava?
