There are three types of basalt lava flows: pillow, pahoehoe, and aa. Pillow Lava: Pillow lavas are volumetrically the most abundant type because they are erupted at mid-ocean ridges and because they make up the submarine portion of seamounts and large intraplate volcanoes, like the Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain.Pahoehoeâ and âaaâ are Hawaiian words that describe lava. Pahoehoe Lava: Pahoehoe is the second most abundant type of lava flow. Pahoehoe near the coast of Kilauea. Photo by Steve Mattox, 1989.
When magma reaches the surface of the earth, it is called lava. Since it its a liquid, it flows downhill in response to gravity as a lava flows. Different magma types behave differently as lava flows, depending on their temperature, viscosity, and gas content.ffusive or Non explosive eruptions are favored by low gas content and low viscosity magmas (basaltic to andesitic magmas). 1  If the viscosity is low, non-explosive eruptions usually begin with fire fountains due to release of dissolved gases.
