pahoehoe is the more smooth lava flows. a'a is the very jagged, sharp lava.
Lava movement refers to the flow of molten rock on the Earth's surface, typically during a volcanic eruption. The movement of lava can vary in speed, from slow-moving oozing flows to fast-moving streams of molten rock. Lava flow direction is influenced by topography, gravity, and the viscosity of the lava.
Lava flows are usually slow moving, giving people time to escape.
Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica mainly produces basaltic andesite lava. This type of lava is characterized by its intermediate silica content, which results in a thick, slow-moving lava flow.
Pahoehoe and AA lava are produced by quiet eruptions. This means that instead of a blast or explosion, the lava just flows out of the volcano. Pahoehoe lava is hot and flows quickly. AA lava is cooler in temperature and doesn't flow as quickly.
pahoehoe is the more smooth lava flows. a'a is the very jagged, sharp lava.
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.
the most dangerous type of lava is sticky lava because slow moving acid lava is more vicious
No. Block lava is low-moving viscous lava, usually of andesitic or similar composition. A pyroclastic flow is a very fast-moving mixture of hot ash, rock and gas.

Lava flows are usually slow moving, giving people time to escape.
Lava that is cooler and slower-moving is called "pahoehoe." Pahoehoe lava has a smooth, rope-like or wrinkled surface texture due to its lower viscosity, which allows it to flow more easily compared to aa lava.
