New page

'''Aa''' (pronounced "ah-ah") describes a volcanic terrain with a particularly rough and jagged surface, resulting from a lava that cools and solidifies while still in motion. As the forward edge of the flow cools, the interior is yet viscous — this unsolidified lava breaks the surface crust, so that the front of the flow becomes a mass of broken and jagged lumps, with pieces of lava crust rolling down slope, adding to the rough and jumbled character.

Aa is also formed when a lava flow comes in contact with ground water, which is quickly turned to steam and erupts violently, breaking up the lava crust.

The incredibly spiny surface of solidified aa makes walking very difficult and slow, disallowing any [[Movement (stride)|stride]] greater than 1 for humanoids and most creatures, except those, like jellies, which are unaffected by aa's nature.

 '''Aa''',  pronounced as "ah-ah," characterizes a volcanic terrain with an exceptionally rugged and jagged surface. This distinctive landscape is the result of [[Lava|lava]] cooling and solidifying while still in motion. As the front edge of the lava flow cools, the interior remains viscous. This unhardened lava breaches the surface crust, causing the leading edge of the flow to transform into a mass of fractured and jagged chunks. Fragments of the lava crust then cascade downhill, contributing to the overall uneven and chaotic nature of the terrain.
