Pillow lava is formed from a relatively low effusion rate. It erupts from either an underwater vent (opening in which gas and other volcanic material can pass) lava flowing into the ocean.
This type of lava is known as pillow lava. When molten lava is erupted underwater, it quickly cools and solidifies into pillow-shaped structures due to the rapid cooling effect of the surrounding water. Over time, multiple layers of pillow lava can accumulate to form underwater volcanic structures.
Volcanic material indicative of underwater eruptions includes pillow lava, which forms when lava erupts and cools rapidly upon contact with water. This results in rounded, pillow-like structures that can be found on the ocean floor. Additionally, volcanic ash and tephra can also be produced during underwater eruptions, but the distinct morphology of pillow lava is a key indicator of subaqueous volcanic activity.
Pillow lava erupts underwater and forms rounded lumps or pillow-shaped structures due to the rapid cooling of molten lava when it comes into contact with water. This type of lava flow is commonly found at mid-ocean ridges and submarine volcanoes.
Mount Shasta primarily produces andesitic lava, which is a type of intermediate lava characterized by a medium viscosity and silica content. This type of lava typically results in eruptions that produce a combination of lava flows and explosive eruptions.
A vulcanologist is most likely to study the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption
That would be the result of a submarine volcano. Pillow lava is a common type of lava that submarine volcanoes produce.
Pillow lava is a type of basaltic lava that forms underwater when lava erupts on the ocean floor. It cools quickly, creating pillow-shaped structures. These formations resemble stacked pillows due to the outer crust solidifying quickly while the lava inside continues to flow, resulting in rounded shapes. Pillow lava is commonly found in mid-ocean ridges and submarine volcanic environments.

The differences are that Pahoehoe produces fast moving lava; Aa produces slower moving lava. The kind of eruption that produces these types of lava is a quiet eruption.
