Abstract
Washington reviews previous ideas on the formation of aa and pahoehoe. He shows that the difference in state of oxidation of the iron, and other chemical differences between aa and pahoehoe, are insignificant. He believes pahoehoe to be generally less crystalline and poorer in gas than aa. Aa remains more fluid than pahoehoe, losing its gas more slowly, both temperature and gas content being partially maintained by crystallization. Aa cools more slowly than pahoehoe, and therefore crystallizes more completely.
