Yes. Diorite and andesite are igneous rocks with the same composition. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite, which is intruisive.
No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
No. Andesite is an extrusive rock. Its intrusive equivalent is diorite.
No. Diorite has the same composition as andesite while Rhyolite has the same composition as granite.
the minerals are olivine and pyroxene ..you're welcome

No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
Diorite is the intrusive equivalent to the extrusive rock andesite.
Yes. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite
No. Andesite is an extrusive rock. Its intrusive equivalent is diorite.
diorite crystals are large and andesite crystals are small
Both andesite and diorite are igneous rocks with an intermediate color index. Diorite; however, is intrusive and phaneritic, whereas andesite is aphanitic and extrusive. Andesite is said to be the extrusive equivalent of diorite. Diorite is made up of plagioclase feldspar and ferromagnesian mineral crystals, mainly amphibole. Contrarily, andesite may resemble rhyolite, meaning it presents a need for microscopic examination to see its mineral crystals. The two have a composition of plagioclase feldspar and amphibole, but it is much more difficult to detect in andesite.
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock. Its extrusive equivalent is andesite.
Diorite is an intrusive which is formed inside of a volcano. Andesite is an extrusive which is formed outside of a volcano.
Andesite and diorite are considered intermediate.
That would be andesite, as it is extrusive. The intusive rock with the same composition is diorite.
No. Diorite has the same composition as andesite while Rhyolite has the same composition as granite.
Andesite is the eruptive version of plutonic diorite. The name comes from the Andes, where it is the common volcanic ejecta.
