Acid lava comes from composite cones,is slowly moving and viscous while basic lava comes from shield volcanoes,is non viscous, runny and flows faster
What else can I help you with?
Account with the aids of diagrams for the differences in the shapes of basic lava cone and acidic lava cone?
Its because of the the difference in lava viscosity (Sticky-ness), more viscous lava will settle near the crater, forming acid lava volcanoes. However, less viscous lava will spread out over a large area before solidifying forming a shield volcano, thus there is a difference in the gradients of the slopes. Acid lava volcanoes have steeper slopes and shield volcanoes are flat at the top with gentle slopes. An example of acid lava volcano - Mt Mayon , The Phillipines An example of Shield Volcano - Mauna Loa, Hawaii
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
What is the difference between lava flow lava fountains and lava tubes?
A lava flow is basically a stream of lava on the surface. A lava tube is an underground cave through which lava flows downhill. A lava fountain is lava shooting into the air out of a volcano in much the same manner as a water fountain.
What is the reason for cooling of lava on earth's surface?
1) The temperature difference between the lava an its surroundings. 2) At the surface heat can be radiated away
Temperature differences between acidic and basaltic lava?
Acid lava comes from composite cone volcanoes, is slow moving and viscous. Basic lava comes from shield volcanoes, is runny and flows faster. Acidic lava is felsic, or high in quartz and potassium feldspars. Basic lava is mafic, and higher in plagioclase feldspar.
What kind of lava does a cinder cone have?
Not acid lava, basic magma.
What is the difference between pahoehoe and AA lava?
The difference between Pahoehoe lava and AA lava is that pahoehoe lava is smooth and AA lava is jagged.
What is the difference between acid and lava?
Acid is a corrosive substance with a low pH that can cause chemical burns, while lava is molten rock that flows from a volcano during an eruption. Acid is typically a liquid solution, while lava is a hot, molten substance that solidifies into rock as it cools.

Is it basic lava or basaltic lava?
It's basaltic lava, not basic.
What is the difference between sediment and lava?
i dont know lol

What is the difference between volcanic ash and volcanic lava?
Lava is a hot liquid from the inside of the earth and ash is a lava powder, which is very hot.
What is the difference between acid lava cones and ash and cinder cones?
Acid lava cones are smaller and much steeper than ash/cinder cones. Acid lava cones are almost convex in shape and are formed due to thick lava that does not flow freely and cools before reaching very far. This gives in the conical 'dumpy' shape. While ash and cinder cones are more symmetrical and concave in shape. They are formed due to volcanic lava or volcanic bombs (of solidified lava) that was shot up in the air, cool and hardened and broke up into tiny pieces (of ash or cinders) before coming back down to the earth's surface.

Is there an acid stronger than lava?
Lava is not an acid, but rather molten rock that comes from a volcano. There are acids that are stronger than lava, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, which can dissolve many materials through their corrosive properties.
