1. Geotechnical and Geomorphological Aspects

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is Aa lava?

   Hint

   Think about how it feels.

2. 2.

   What does Pahoehoe lava look like?

   Hint

   Consider a flowing liquid.

3. 3.

   What type of lava is characterized by a rough, rubbly surface?

   • Pahoehoe
   • Aa
   • Basalt

   Hint

   Consider the texture of the lava.

4. 4.

   True or False: Pahoehoe lava is smooth and easier to work with.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the properties of the lava.

5. 5.

   Develop a conservation plan for a hypothetical cave system with both Aa and Pahoehoe lava. Discuss your methodology for excavation and preservation given the different rock types.

   Hint

   Consider each lava type's properties while planning.

6. 6.

   Analyze the impact of water seepage in Tacheletic Basalt. How would you address its challenges in an archaeological setting?

   Hint

   Think about the structural aspects combined with conservation efforts.
