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.
Types of volcanic materials. Three basic kinds of materials may erupt from a volcano: 1) lava, (2) rock fragments, and (3) gas. The material that erupts depends chiefly on how sticky or fluid a volcano's magma is.Lava is the name for magma that has reached the earth's surface.omposite volcanoes are formed when both lava and tephra erupt from a central vent. The materials pile up in alternate layers around the vent and form a towering, cone-shaped mountain. Composite volcanoes include Japan's Mount Fuji; Mayon Volcano in the Philippines; and Italy's Vesuvius.
