Levels of U.S. aid to Pakistan have waxed and waned since the 1980s, according to American geo-political initiatives. Since 9/11, the country has received $19.34 billion in economic and military aid from the U.S. for its cooperation in the so-called âwar on terror.â.
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.
  Viscous lava is very sticky and thick and is more felsic (ie it contains more silica) than non-viscous lava. This type of lava makes for a very explosive volcano, becau â¦ se it's so sticky that it sticks to itself and can't exit the volcano until it explodes violently.   Non-viscous lava is more runny and is more mafic (has more iron, less silica). Volcanoes with non-viscous lava are less explosive because the lava just runs out slowly and no pressure builds.
