There are another two types pohoehoe and pillow lava.
Pahoehoe lava: is characterized by a smooth, billowy, or ropy surface.
Pillow lava: are volumetrically the most abundant type because they are erupted at mid-ocean ridges and because they make up the submarine portion of seamounts and large intraplate volcanoes, like the Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain.
