Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basalt is the dominant lava erupted from volcanoes in Hawaii and Iceland. It is a type of mafic lava with low viscosity and high fluidity, allowing it to flow easily and create broad shield volcanoes. Rhyolite and andesite are more commonly associated with explosive eruptions and are not the dominant lava types in these regions. Komatiite is an ultramafic lava that is rarely found on Earth's surface.
