Molten pahoehoe lava spilling from a lava tube

Pahoehoe lava. Molten pahoehoe lava flowing from a lava tube (upper right). Pahoehoe is a thick lava which may flow at speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour. Lava tubes are formed when the surface of a river of molten lava cools and solidifies, but the interior remains hot and liquid. Pahoehoe lava is a type of basic lava with a low silica content, giving it a low melting point. This means the lava can travel great distances from the crater or vent from which it issued.
