Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The texture of the basaltic lava in the image appears to be rough and jagged, with sharp edges and a blocky appearance. This is characteristic of aa lava, which forms when slow-moving lava cools and solidifies on the surface, creating a rough and uneven texture. Tephra refers to volcanic ash and other small particles ejected from a volcano, while pillow lava has a rounded, pillow-like appearance, and pahoehoe lava has a smooth, rope-like texture. Therefore, option A is the best choice for this image.
