EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES-TYPES OF LAVA

From the world's bottom, heat and strength cause volcanoes and earthquakes. Volcanic eruptions can be triggered by earthquakes. Lava has been produced through earthquakes and this can happen sometimes.

Molten rock is known as lava and can be structured as Magma. Remains in the earth that was once called Magma. On the ground of the world, the lava can be flown. Volcanoes have few characteristics of lava such as Basaltic lava. Liquid rock can be known as Magma. This can happen on the world’s ground and this can be named lava.

Basalt lava flows have been found in mainly three types such as A’a, Pahoehoe, and Pillow. The similarity between Aa and Pahoehoe is they are both primary types. The pronunciation of Pahoehoe is Paw-Hoey-hoey and the pronunciation of Aa is ah-ah. The two names have been found through the digit of volcanological terminology. On the other hand, Pillow lava has been remarked as a third type. This kind of lava has been structured through a submarine eruption.

Besides, there have been many types of lava that have been followed such as Wide shield volcanoes, Mounded lava domes, and Steep stratovolcanoes. The types of lava have been dependent on the form of volcanoes. There has been some lava that is so thin. Moreover, there is some lava that is so thick. Hawaiian names give the real kinds of lava. The reason behind this name is that the Hawaiian Islands are part of volcanic nature. 

Pahoehoe lava

Pahoehoe is a type of lava that has been seen in earthquakes and volcanoes. A running lava lithosphere can be called Pahoehoe lava. This lava can be smooth.  This lava has slow velocity flow because Pahoehoe lava has a minimum capacity of effusion movement. The difference between the flow of Aa lava and Pahoehoe is at least ten times gradual. The lava flow has resulted through the rate of bigger effusion. This can occur whether a lava ground structure can be rubbly or not. In outlook both lava is several. Moreover, there has been a similarity that can be identified through their composition. Aa lava can be transformed through mainly a pahoehoe that is known as the flow of lava. In order to run from the lava, it can not come back, whether the flow has found a broken lava crust. The aa lava is much thinner than Pahoehoe because a volcano that is part of a slope can be flown through it. This can happen mostly in grandiose rivers. Lava tubes can be structured through Pahoehoe lava. Approximately 1100 to 1200 degrees celsius is the heat where pahoehoe erupts.

This type of lava has been found where there is a slow flow of lava that has happened. There is an advantage because it can repair easily whether in the skin a tear has found that is structure. The rate can be discharged through noth magma. Moreover, the steepness has the same process along with rate and the flow rate has been affected through the lava flow.

Pillow Lava

There is lava that has been found in volcanic vents known as Pillow lava. The water has contacted the lava. The process of this lava is a hardened shell that cools down through it. At the start of the vent, there have been many lava problems because lava has been cracked through the shell and there have been many Pillows emerging.

This lava can be considered as a vital cause the attendance of water can be indicated through them. Pillow lava has been flown inside the water and inside the water similar to pahoehoe has been essential through pillow lava. This lava’s rate is low and Pahoehoe toes are less rounder structured through them. This happens because in order to assist a buoy there has to be a capability of water. In Mauna Kea, this lava has been found and a subglacial produces this type of lava. This lava happened 10000 years ago. The distance of pillow lava is three feet and three feet is one meter. 

A’a 

One of the primary kinds of lava is known as A’a. A’s is known as one type of lava and basaltic lava is called A’a. Ah-ah is the pronunciation of this lava. The process of A’s lava is that this lava cannot be flown so fastly. A slow movement has been found in this lava. This lava’s motion mass is known as warm jello because of its unsmooth cooler ground. In order to walk diagonally, A’a lava has faced a few disadvantages in its sharp ground. Approximately 1000 to 1100 degrees celsius this kind of lava has erupted. Temperature loss has been accelerated through the lava where it flows swiftly. 

Conclusion 

The initial kinds of lava are specifically basaltic. Regular volcanoes can erupt through active volcanoes that can be extinct. The kinds of lava have been found in the lava’s mineral content. There has been found much lava that is thin. And that has the capability to fly in larger rivers.
