A’a Lava: A’a lava is identified by the jagged, rough surface as seen in this photo. A’a lava experienced a more violent eruption, moved farther and faster following eruption, and may be seen in large blocks such as the lava seen in the photo. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Pahoehoe Lava: Pahoehoe lava is characterized by a smoother surface that may appear in strands like a rope. The eruption of Pahoehoe lava was slower and flowed across the Earth’s surface in a more liquid state. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
