Classification of Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks are classified into four categories felsic intermediate mafic and ultramafic based on either their chemistry or their mineral composition For example an andesite that contains hornblende and plagioclase phenocrysts would be described as a hornblende plagioclase porphyritic andesite
If we examine a rock that appears to be andesite but not much confident that it meets the mineralogical and chemical classification of andesite It is then called an andesitic rock It means that the rock looks andesite but a proper microscopic examination will give a clear analysis further Q3 What are Dissolved Gas and Explosive Eruptions
Figure PageIndex{1} A simplified classification diagram for igneous rocks based on their mineral compositions If we focus on the non ferromagnesian silicates it is evident that felsic rocks can have from 0% to 35% K feldspar from 25% to 35% quartz the vertical thickness of the quartz field varies from 25% to 35% and from 25% to 50%

Genesis of Phanerozoic Andean andesite rocks is related to the subduction of the oceanic Nazca plate beneath the South American continental plate along the west coast of South America Exploratory data analytics is done on whole rock geochemical data of 3311 andesite rock samples collected from the Andes orogenic belt extending from Argentina Chile Bolivia
Derivative Classification This course explains how to derivatively classify national security information from a classification management perspective The course describes the process and methods for derivatively classifying information; identifies authorized sources to use when derivatively classifying information and explains how to apply
Classification of andesites may be refined according to the most abundant phenocryst For example hornblende phyric andesite indicates that hornblende is the principal accessory mineral within andesite Formation of andesite Andesites are formed at accretionary plate margins by several processes

6 L andesite è una roccia ignea effusiva di chimismo intermedio SiO 2 tra 52% e 65% in peso da leggermente sovrassatura a leggermente sottosatura in silice costituita prevalentemente da plagioclasio e pirosseni ± la struttura è isotropa ma talora con orientamento preferenziale dei cristalli di plagioclasio per flusso nel magma ancora
Andesito um tipo de rocha magmática cujo nome deriva de Andes montanhas onde muito comum É uma rocha ígnea vulcânica de composição intermediária
On the QAPF classification andesite is a fine grained volcanic rock with 1 less than 20% quartz 2 less than 10% feldspathoids by volume with plagioclase at least 65% of total feldspar Andesite is the extrusive or volcanic equivalent of diorite a plutonic or intrusive igneous They both have the same chemical composition and mineralogy
Andesite and dacite are intermediate in composition and viscosity between rhyolite and basalt Dacite is characterized by the presence of phenocrysts of biotite and hornblende Geologists have developed more detailed classification schemes based on the chemistry of volcanic rocks that allow them to interpret the origin of lavas deep within the
Andesite Typically found in volcanic arcs associated with subduction zones Plutonic or Intrusive Igneous Rocks The classification of igneous rocks based on composition revolves around the silica SiO 2 content and the proportion of various minerals present in the rock This classification categorizes igneous rocks into four primary

Bottom line Dacite has more silica and felsic minerals while andesite has less and more mafic minerals 2 QAPF classification Using the QAPF classification of volcanic rock plagioclase is at least 65% of the total feldspars of both rocks
This data descriptor assigns the major and minor rock names from worldwide Holocene volcanoes of the Global Volcanism Program GVP using the Total Alkali Silica diagram TAS for the chemical
Andesite containing phenocrysts of plagioclase clinopyroxene and olivine was dredged from the Meander Reef on the Cagayan Ridge 2001 and the Th Co classification of igneous rocks and tectonic environments is based on Hastie et al 2007 Multielement plots are normalized to N MORB Sun and McDonough 1989
The TAS classification can be used to assign names to many common types of volcanic rocks based upon the relationships between the combined alkali content and the silica content These chemical parameters are useful because the relative proportions of alkalis and silica play an important role in determining actual mineralogy and normative mineralogy
