Correct answer: Pahoehoe

Pahoehoe lava has a low viscosity, meaning it flows relatively easily and develops a smooth, skin-like crust that wrinkles into ropey patterns as the hot liquid continues to move underneath. In contrast, Aa lava is highly viscous and cools into jagged, sharp, and blocky chunks. Photo: Giles Laurent, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0.
