Is the only difference between aa and pahoehoe, the rate of effusion or is it more?

Dear BJ,

Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

Rate of effusion is certainly an important factor. Temperature, crystal content, slope of the surface are also important. have a look at Lava for more info.
