Hot Lava
Mount Santa Maria in Guatemala has experienced both effusive and explosive eruptions in its history. The 1902 eruption was explosive, causing catastrophic destruction, while subsequent eruptions have been effusive with lava flows.
Viscous lava, such as andesitic or rhyolitic lava, flows the slowest due to its high silica content. This type of lava tends to be thicker and more resistant to flow compared to basaltic lava, which is more fluid and flows more quickly.
Pāhoehoe lava flows most like dripping wax. Pāhoehoe is a type of basaltic lava that has a low viscosity, giving it a smooth and ropy appearance as it flows. This type of lava can form various features, including smooth channels and dripping formations that resemble dripping wax.
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
Yellowstone has produced both basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows. It is better known for its ecplosive eruptions, which produce large ash clouds and pyroclastic flows rather than lava flows.
Santa Maria is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided cones and explosive eruptions that involve both lava flows and ash. Santa Maria's most famous eruption in 1902 was one of the largest of the 20th century.
