LAVA TYPES Lava is molten rock that emerges from a volcano or fissure onto the Earth’s surface during volcanic eruptions. Depending on its chemical composition, temperature, and viscosity, lava can be classified into different types, which affect its flow behavior and eruption style. MAIN TYPES OF LAVA: 1. Pāhoehoe Lava (Ropy Lava): Appearance: Smooth, shiny, and ropy surface. Viscosity: Low (flows easily). Temperature: Higher than ‘A‘ā lava (~1100°C–1200°C). Behavior: Flows in thin sheets or ch
