The three main types of lava, named for the rock types that they form:
Basaltic lava tend to come from shield volcanoes, fissure systems, scoria cones, and spatter cones.
It is primarily made of the rock called basalt which is a rock found deep within the earth so basltic magma comes from deep inside. Basaltic flows are the hottest. A unique feature of basaltic lava is the formation of pillow lavas.
Rhyolitic lava is a silica rich form of lava that is relatively "thick", as compared to basaltic and andesitic lava. - from the rock Rhyolite composition like granite It is a highly viscous lava that can just barely flow.
