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.

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."


What type of volcano rock fragment or lava comes out of mt st helens?

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.
