   Dec 28, 2016 · Lava flows occur worldwide, and throughout history, various cultures (and geologists) have described flows based on their surface textures. As a result, surface morphology-based nomenclature schemes have been proposed in most languages to aid in the classification and distinction of lava surface types. One of the first to be published was likely the nine-class, Italian-language description ...

   Apr 11, 2024 · William Smith (1769 – 1839) worked as a surveyor in the coal-mining and canal-building industries in southwestern England in the late 1700s and early 1800s. While doing his work, he had many opportunities to look at the Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks of the region, and he did so in a way that few had done before.

The 'a'a flow (orange) was active for 16 days, advanced at an average flow-front velocity of 133 meters/hour, and erupted at a volumetric flow rate of 208 cubic meters/sec. The pahoehoe part (blue) followed immediately after, was active for 285 days, advanced at an average flow-front velocity of 7 m ...

   Feb 18, 2014 · As the Catoctin lavas cooled, columnar joints developed in many flows. Columns form as the rock volumetrically contracts during cooling. As a lava flow cools, both from its top and bottom surface, these cooling cracks propagate inward, forming hexagonal columns. Columnar joints are best developed in lava flows that extrude onto a landscape.

   Are lava flows based on surface morphology?

   • Lava flows occur worldwide, and throughout history, various cultures (and geologists) have described flows based on their surface textures. As a result, surface morphology-based nomenclature schemes have been proposed in most languages to aid in the classification and distinction of lava surface types.

   What was a lava flow characterized by?

   • The flow was characterized by 50–60-cm-thick extrusions of massive or slightly vesicular lava with “a corrugated surface of spongy material”, and he (pp. 1281–1282) was likely describing features such as those shown in Fig. 10c.

   When did lava flow surfaces become a single word word?

   • In this paper, we trace the early efforts of American and European geologists to describe lava flow surfaces (mainly during the nineteenth century) and the gradual coalescence of opinion to adopt single-word names, specifically the Hawaiian language words pāhoehoe and ‘a‘ā, instead of descriptive multi-word Western-language labels.
