Maui, Hawaii, primarily features two types of lava: basaltic lava and pahoehoe lava. Basaltic lava is characterized by its low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily, while pahoehoe lava has a smooth, ropy texture and forms when basalt lava cools slowly. Both types are products of the island's shield volcanoes, such as Haleakalā, which have shaped Maui's landscape over millions of years. Additionally, some areas may exhibit aa lava, which is rough and jagged, formed from more viscous lava flows.
