Basalt Flow Types in Serra Geral Formation by Victor Hugo Guedes Siva is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses a study on the flow morphology and structures of basalts in the Serra Geral Formation in western Paraná state, Brazil. The study identifies two main types of flows - pahoehoe and aa flows - with pahoehoe flows predominating. These flow types were first described in Hawaii and have since been applied to other volcanic provinces. The compound pahoehoe flows in the Serra Geral Formation are formed by pipe-like (P-type) and spongy (S-type) lobes. Surface features related to the different
