Which outcome occurs when lava cools as pahoehoe?

💡 Explanation

The formation rocks depends upon the mechanism of cooling rate, rather than magma source, and surface texture of lava is formed. Pahoehoe forms smooth surfaces because rapid surface cooling prevents crystal growth, therefore forming ropy textures rather than other, rough, lava rock forms.
