What are the 6 lava names?

Answer 1

The six main types of lava based on their characteristics are:

1. Basaltic Lava - Low viscosity, fluid lava that forms from basalt, commonly found in shield volcanoes.
2. Andesitic Lava - Intermediate viscosity and composition, typically associated with stratovolcanoes.
3. Rhyolitic Lava - High viscosity, thick lava that can lead to explosive eruptions, often found in dome-building volcanoes.
4. Pahoehoe - Smooth, ropy lava that flows easily and has a glossy surface.
5. Aa - Rough, jagged lava that has a higher viscosity and cools quickly, forming sharp edges.
6. Pillow Lava - Lava that forms underwater, creating rounded, pillow-like structures due to rapid cooling.
