What else can I help you with?
Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles is called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
What is the smooth lava flow called?
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
When lava hardens quickly to form ropy formation it is called what?
When lava hardens quickly to form a ropy formation, it is called pahoehoe lava.
What is the difference between pahoehoe and lava?
Pahoehoe is faster moving lava and AA is slower moving lava. Both types are found in basaltic type eruptions. They have different appearances. Pahoehoe is smooth and ropey where as AA is chunky and rough.(much like top of trees) Often a pahoehoe flow can change to an AA flow depending upon the type of slope it encounters. The steeper the slope the more likely AA lava will be present. Aa has more viscosity than Pahoehoe.
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.
Which lava is so thick in consistency that it barely creeps along the ground?
Pahoehoe
Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles is called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
Lava that forms smooth ropelike coils when it hardens is called?
Pahoehoe
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.
Is a'a or pahoehoe lava better for making lava tubes?
Lava tubes are usually produces by pahoehoe.
What is the smooth lava flow called?
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.

What kind of lava does pahoehoe form?
all lava
What are the three types of lava?
Pahoehoe lava, Aa lava, and Blocky lava
Fast moving hot lava that has low viscosity is called?
Fast moving hot lava with low viscosity is called "pahoehoe." It has a smooth, ropy texture due to its high temperature and low resistance to flow.
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.
