What else can I help you with?
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
Is basaltic lava less fluid than andesitic lava?
No, basaltic lava is typically more fluid than andesitic lava due to its lower silica content. This results in basaltic lava flowing more easily and spreading over larger areas compared to andesitic lava.
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.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Is it basic lava or basaltic lava?
It's basaltic lava, not basic.
Which lava is less viscous rhyolitic or basaltic?
Basaltic lava is less viscous.
What are the three types of lava flows associated with basaltic lava?
basaltic lava can form a'a, pahoehoe, or pillow lava.
Does basaltic or rhyolitic lava flow faster?
Basaltic lava flows much faster than ryholitic lava.
Is basaltic lava less fluid than andesitic lava?
No, basaltic lava is typically more fluid than andesitic lava due to its lower silica content. This results in basaltic lava flowing more easily and spreading over larger areas compared to andesitic lava.
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.
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
What type of lava does shield a shield volcano have?
Mafic, more commonly called Basaltic.
What type of lava comes out of shield volcano?
Basaltic lava.
Does basilic lava have low silica?
Yes, basaltic lava has low silica content compared to other types of lava. Basaltic lava is typically rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium, which contribute to its low silica content. This low silica content also makes basaltic lava less viscous and more likely to flow easily.
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.
Are basaltic lavas a pahoehoe lava?
Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.
