Basic volcanic lavas are those which have a low silica (45 - 52%) and a high iron and magnesium content. The term "basic" in this context is somewhat outdated. Modern scientists generally prefer to call such lava mafic.

Why would pahoehoe and a'a lava erupt from shield volcanoes?
Pahoehoe and a'a are textural variaties of basaltic lava, which has a low viscosity, meaning it flows fairly easily. This is the reason for the gentle slopes of shield volcanoes.
Why does underwater lava differ from surface lava?
The lava itself is not different, it is the environment that is different. Water is much denser than air and has a higher heat capacity, meaning it takes more energy to heat it up. As a result, lava will lose heat to water extremely quickly, and so will cool much faster than it can on land.
When Mount Vesuvius last erupted did the lava have high or low viscosity?
The lava from Mount Vesuvius during its last eruption in 1944 had high viscosity, meaning it was thick and flowed slowly. This type of lava often leads to explosive eruptions and can create steep-sided volcanoes.

How does the silica content of lava impact its viscosity?
Silica content is directly proportional to viscosity, so the higher the silica content of a lava, the higher its viscosity. high viscosity means a lava will be thick and slow moving, hence probably meaning an explosive eruption. lava's with a high viscosity include rhyolite and andesite whereas lava's with a low viscosity (runny ones) include basalt.
