Niether. Pahoehoe and a'a are both varieties of basaltic lava. The material from Pinatobo is of a dacitic composition, which is much more viscous than a'a or pahoehoe. It tends to erupt explosively, producing ash and pumice rather than lava flows. When dacitic lava does flow it creates a block lava flow.

Mt. St. Helens did not have lava flow during its 1980 eruption. Instead, it underwent a catastrophic lateral blast that expelled hot ash, steam, and debris. The eruption resulted in a massive eruption column and pyroclastic flows.
yes they were because of all the ash before it had lava coming out
Mount St Helens erupts dacitic lava, which forms dacite when it cools. Because of the high gas content and high viscosity much of the material gets erupted as ash and pumice rather than lava.
Yes, during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, lava was erupted from the volcano. However, the eruption primarily involved a lateral blast that removed the top of the mountain, resulting in more explosive activity rather than a traditional effusion of lava.
No. Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano. There is a lava dome in the crater.

Mt. St. Helens erupted by the pressure to make a volcano explode. Lava originates deep below the Earth's surface where it is still extremely hot, with magma at the bottom of the lava. a 5.1 earthquake triggered mt st helens to erupt

Mount Saint Helens' magma/lava composition is different to many volcanoes and is about 64%silica and 4% water.
The type of lava flow that Mt. Kilauea has is a pahoehoe flow. This flow involves lava flowing into sheets after eruption. Once its top has cooled, the bottom layer moves under it resembling "a rope."
