What is the smooth lava flow called?
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
What is lava with a wrinkled surface that forms when mafic lava hardens?
The lava with a wrinkled surface that forms when mafic lava hardens is called pahoehoe. It is characterized by smooth, undulating, or rope-like textures that result from the flow of lava as it cools and solidifies. Pahoehoe lava flows typically have a low viscosity, allowing the lava to move easily and form these distinctive features.
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.
What does the Hawaiian term AA mean?
In Hawaiian, AA refers to lava that has a rough and jagged texture. It is formed when molten lava cools quickly on the surface, creating sharp, blocky rocks.
What is the name of the volcano that is built by thick layer of lava?
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.
What are two types of hawaiian lava?
ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.

How is hawaiian lava different from composite cone lava?
Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
Is pahoehoe fast moving hot lava?
No. Pahoehoe is lava that forms a smooth, ropey surface. It may flow relatively quickly at times, but often flows very slowly.
What is aah?
It could be a scream, singing, type of Hawaiian lava, or a name. :-0 :-o ;-) :-P
Is lava a hawaiian word?
Yes, "lava" is a Hawaiian word that means "to erupt" or "make lava". It is commonly used to refer to the molten rock that flows from volcanoes.
What is a type of lava?
In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
What is the difference between pahoehoe and lava?
