Andesite is a volcanic rock that is made up of mainly the minerals augite, plagioclase, and small amounts of hornblende. Its uses include as building material in construction and stone monuments. Its name is derived from where it was first found, the Andes Mountain in South America.
Andesite is a type of extrusive igneous rock with moderate levels of silica. Andesitic is an adjective used to describe volcanic material with the composition of andesite. For example, andesitic lava will cool to form andesite.
Andesite has small crystals because it cools quickly.
Andesite is an igneous rock that can be used in the construction field. Andesite is used mainly for making tiles, bricks, or stones that are suitable for water or landscape gardens. They use andesite to make tiles because they are naturally slip resistant.

No. Andesite is a volcanic rock.
Andesite is not any age in particular. Some deposites of andesite may be hundreds of millions of years old. However, since andesite is volcanic, some andesite rocks may only be minutes old.
No. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
Yes. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
Andesite may be aphanitic or porphyritic.
Yes. Diorite and andesite are igneous rocks with the same composition. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite, which is intruisive.
Yes. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite
Andesite and dacite are produced by stratovolcanoes.
No. Andesite is an extrusive rock. Its intrusive equivalent is diorite.
Andesite has an intermediate composition between "basic" and "acid."
