What type of lava forms from kilauea?
Kilauea produces basaltic lava, which is the most common type.
What type of lava flow does kilauea have?
Kilauea produces a'a and pahoehoe lava flows.
Which type of rocks are most abundent on earth?
Igneous rocks are the most common type of rocks on earth.
Which type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope?
Pahoehoe lava flows are characterized as having a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope. These particular flows a fed internally by a liquid beneath a solidified or partially solidified surface.
What type of lava is most dangerous?
the most dangerous type of lava is sticky lava because slow moving acid lava is more vicious
What is a type of lava?
In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
Sedimentary rocks is the most common rock type. 75% of all rocks on earth are Sedimentary.
What name is given to the liquid inside the volcano?
There are several "fiery liquds" that emanate from volcanos. The most common is molten rock.
What happens if you pour liquid nitrogen into a volcano?
Not a lot, most volcanoes have solidified on the surface so there is no open lava at the surface. It would be pouring liquid nitrogen onto rock which would not do much at all. Even if there were some lava on the surface pouring liquid nitrogen onto it would just accelerate the cooling and solidifying into rocks dependent on what type of lava it is.
Which is volcanic lava rock basaltic or granitic?
The most common type of lava is basaltic. However some lavas may be andesitic or ryolitic. Rhyolite is the extrustive equivalent of granite.
What type of lava erupts from oceanic vents and quickly cools in the water?
That would be the result of a submarine volcano. Pillow lava is a common type of lava that submarine volcanoes produce.
What type of lava erupts most often in rift valley?
Basaltic lava.
