Lava Flows
Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an
erupting vent. The temperatures of molten lava range from about
700 to 1,200 °C (1,300 to 2,200 °F). The material can be very
fluid, flowing almost like syrup, or it can be extremely stiff,
scarcely flowing at all. The higher the lava’s silica content, the
higher its viscosity.
The speed at which lava moves across the ground
depends on several factors, including:

PAHOEHOE
LAVA FLOW
Pahoehoe lava flows
are characterized by
smooth, gently
undulating, or broadly
hummocky surfaces.
The liquid lava flowing
beneath a thin, still-
plastic crust drags and
wrinkles it into
tapestry-like folds and
rolls resembling twisted
rope. Pahoehoe lava
flows are fed almost
wholly internally by
streams of liquid lava
flowing beneath a
solidified or partly
solidified surface.
AA LAVA FLOWS
In contrast to pahoehoe, the surface of aa lava is
exceedingly rough, covered with a layer of partly loose,
very irregular fragments commonly called clinkers. Aa
lava flows are fed principally by rivers of liquid lava
flowing in open channels. Typically, such a feeding river
forms a narrow band that is 8 to 15 metres (25 to 50
feet) wide along the centre line of the flow, with broad
fields of less actively moving clinker on each side of it. At
the front of the flow, clinkers from the top roll down and
are overridden by the pasty centre layer, like a tread on
an advancing bulldozer.

Blocky lava flows resemble aa lavas. They
also have highly irregular surfaces covered
with debris, but they contain larger lava
blocks with smoother sides and angular
edges with common dimensions from few
decimeters to several meters. Blocky flows
grow higher as they advance and may
reach more than 100 meters in height.
