Not usually. It is more common for a volcano to erupt explosively and later extrude gas-depleted lava. That being said, lava domes can sometimes explode.
Lava.lavaThis is known as lava.
A'a is not a kind of volcano. A'a is a texture that a lava flow can take on, characterized by a surface covered in sharp fragments. There is no particular height to the lava flow, or height of volcano from which such a flow erupts.
Volcano
The village threatened by the 1983 lava flow in Hawaii was Kalapana. It was eventually destroyed by the lava flow from the Kilauea Volcano.
During a volcanic eruption, lava flows from the vent of the volcano, following paths of least resistance down the slopes. The speed and distance of the lava flow depend on various factors such as the type of lava, gradient of the slope, and presence of obstacles. Lava flows can cause destruction to surrounding areas and communities in the path of the flow.

A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
Lava and rock explode out of the volcano then lava pours down the volcano covering the land then turning into rock making the volcano bigger.
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
Lava at the top of a volcano will generally flow downhill.
No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.

You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt at the surface of a volcano or lava flow. Basalt is a common volcanic rock that forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly, usually in areas with high volcanic activity.
Volcano bombs are lumps of half-melted, half-cooled balls of lava that is hurled out of a volcano. They are called volcano "bombs" as since they explode into flames on impact.
