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.
Lava Flows. The major eruptive product of Hawaiian volcanoes is lava. Lava flows can form during fountaining eruptions or they can well out of the ground with little or no pyroclastic activity. There are two major types of basaltic lava flow, ' a'a and pahoehoe. These are Hawaiian words that have no meaning other than the type of lava, and they have been adopted by geologists working in other basaltic areas besides Hawai'i. They are different in almost every respect possible except for their chemistry.
