Pahoehoe lava is a type of basaltic lava that has a fairly smooth surface that can resemble twisted braids of ropes. This lava is characterized by its smooth, ropy texture formed as it flows and cools.
Pahoehoe lava results in rocks with a ropy texture. This type of lava has a smooth, undulating surface due to its low viscosity.
Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.
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.
Gentle slopes of basaltic lava flow refer to the gradual incline created by the movement of low-viscosity basaltic lava. These lava flows can extend over long distances and form smooth, undulating terrain due to their ability to spread out easily and flow for extensive distances before solidifying. This results in a characteristic gentle slope that is distinctive to basaltic lava flows.

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.
Pahoehoe is a type of lava flow that has a smooth, ropy texture. It is formed when low-viscosity basaltic lava flows and cools quickly, creating a distinctive wavy surface. Pahoehoe flows can be seen in volcanic regions and are a popular attraction for tourists.
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.
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.

They are called lunar maria, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions that flooded the surface with basaltic lava. These smooth, dark areas contrast with the rugged, bright highlands on the moon.

Basaltic lavas can be either pahoehoe or a'a lava types. Pahoehoe lavas have smooth, rope-like textures, while a'a lavas are rough and jagged. The type of lava formed depends on various factors such as temperature, composition, and viscosity.
Pahoehoe is a type of lava that has a smooth, rope-like texture when it cools. It forms when low-viscosity basaltic lava flows steadily and cools quickly, creating rippled patterns on the surface.
No it does not have to be smooth.
