The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
Pahoehoe lava flows exhibit a fairly smooth, unfragmented, and ropy surface. This type of basaltic lava flow has a characteristic appearance due to its low viscosity, which allows it to flow and solidify in a smooth manner.

A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
pahoehoe is the more smooth lava flows. a'a is the very jagged, sharp lava.

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.

Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava are types of basaltic lava that form during submarine volcanic eruptions. They both have smooth, ropy surfaces, caused by the flow of lava, and are relatively low in viscosity.
The village threatened by the 1983 lava flow in Hawaii was Kalapana. It was eventually destroyed by the lava flow from the Kilauea Volcano.
these are two ways on how: 1. a water spray can cool down a larva flow, 2. and using really heavy stones (10-40 tones)
Pahoehoe is a type of lava flow that has a smooth, ropy texture. It is formed when low-viscosity basaltic lava flows and cools quickly, creating a distinctive wavy surface. Pahoehoe flows can be seen in volcanic regions and are a popular attraction for tourists.
Fast flowing lava with low viscosity is called "pahoehoe." This type of lava has a smooth, rope-like texture and tends to move quickly across the surface due to its low viscosity, which allows it to flow easily. Pahoehoe lava often forms when basaltic magma emerges from a volcano.
