What type of lava does Yellowstone caldera have?
Both rhyolitic and basaltic lava flows have been found in the Yellowstone Caldera. There are alro large deposits of rhyolitic tuff.
What are 3 kinds of magma?
Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, and Rhyolitic Lava :] (glad to help)
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What type of lava flows the slowest?
Viscous lava, such as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, flows the slowest due to its high silica content. This type of lava tends to be thicker and more resistant to flow compared to basaltic lava, which is more fluid and flows more quickly.
Which type of lava-basaltic lava or rhyolitic lava flows faster and why?
Basaltic flows much faster than rhyolite. Rhyolite is higher viscosity. Find a video of a basaltic lava flow like Hawaii, it flows like water when it's hot. Rhyolite eruptions usually act more like toothpaste if they're slow, or an explosion if fast.

Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What is the opposite of basaltic?
The opposite of basaltic is rhyolitic. Basaltic rocks are formed from lava that is low in silica content, while rhyolitic rocks are formed from lava that is high in silica content.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
What is the other name for acidic lava?
Lava is melted rock. Other names for lava include a'a' or pahoehoe.

Viscous lava, such as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, flows the slowest due to its high silica content. This type of lava tends to be thicker and more resistant to flow compared to basaltic lava, which is more fluid and flows more quickly.
What are three different types of lava?
Basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic

What type of lava comes from what volcano?
Shield volcanoes will erupt basaltic lava. Cinder cones erupt basaltic lava or basaltic andesite lava. Stratovolcanoes often erupt andesite lava, but may erupt basaltic or rhyolitic lava and all intermediate types as well.
What are some examples of lava?
Examples of lava include basaltic lava, andesitic lava, and rhyolitic lava. Basaltic lava is fluid and forms flat landscapes like the Hawaiian Islands, while andesitic lava is stickier and can create steep volcanoes like those in the Andes. Rhyolitic lava is very viscous and can lead to explosive eruptions, forming features like Yellowstone's geysers.
What kind of volcanoes have rhyolitic lava?
Rhyolitic magma has a high viscosity content, making it flow slowly. Because of its slow moving liquid rock, it doesn't flow very far from the main vent, producing a very tall composite volcano. Once lava is released from the main vent it flows down the sides of the volcano and hardens. Because it is slow moving, some times it doesn't get all the way to the ground before it hardens, that's why composite volcano's are vary tall. Rhyolitic magma is also high in gas and silica content, making it very explosive.
