Which type of basaltic lava has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of ropes?
A rope shaped or billowy shaped flow is a form of basaltic lava known as Pahoehoe.
Does a smooth surface reduce friction?
There is more friction between the surfaces of 2 smooth surfaces than one smooth surface because there is more surface area.
Is Uranus rough or smooth on the surface?
Saturn's surface has not been proven to be smooth. One of Saturn's moons have been confirmed to be smooth and mirror like though.
What is the definition of a smooth surface?
In general, we can say a surface is smooth if it's lack of any "grip" or textural features presents no friction.
Is Jupiter's surface rough or smooth?
Jupiter is a gas giant. It does not have a surface.

A rope shaped or billowy shaped flow is a form of basaltic lava known as Pahoehoe.
Which type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope?
Pahoehoe lava flows are characterized as having a fairly smooth surface that resembles the twisted braids of rope. These particular flows a fed internally by a liquid beneath a solidified or partially solidified surface.
What is a type of lava?
In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
What is AA and pahoehoe?
AA is a type of basaltic lava characterized by a rough, jagged surface due to rapid cooling and solidification. Pahoehoe is another type of basaltic lava with a smooth, ropy texture formed when the outer layer of lava cools and solidifies, while the molten interior continues to flow.
What is Pahoehoe used for?
Pahoehoe lava forms by small pieces of lava from an irregular flow. It is typical in certain types of volcanoes such as shield volcanoes.
Is the force is greater on a smooth surface or on a rough surface?

What type of surface weathers faster smooth surface or jagged surface?

What do snails prefer rough or smooth surface?

Does a surface of somehing have to be smooth?
No it does not have to be smooth.
Are leaves of betula populifolia hairy or smooth on the lower surface?
The leaves of Betula populifolia are smooth on the lower surface.
Is rough surface better or smooth surface?
The rough surface is better than the smooth surface for the frictional force to act.
