Porphyritic Rocks are rocks that have big and small crystal's like the Igneous Rock "Andesite".
What are types of volcanic rock?
Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
Is andesite foliated or nonfoliated?
Andesite is a nonfoliated rock, meaning it does not have a layered or banded appearance like foliated rocks such as slate or schist. Andesite forms from volcanic activity and solidifies without undergoing the intense pressure and heat required for foliation to occur.
What igneous rocks cool above ground?
Igneous rocks that cool above ground are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools rapidly.
Is andesite nonfoliated?
Andesite is typically classified as an igneous rock, specifically a volcanic rock, and is not categorized as either foliated or nonfoliated since those terms primarily apply to metamorphic rocks. Foliation refers to the alignment of mineral grains under pressure, which is not relevant to andesite. Instead, andesite has a fine-grained texture and can contain a mix of minerals, but it lacks the layered or banded appearance characteristic of foliated rocks.
Is andesite basic or acid?
Andesite has an intermediate composition between "basic" and "acid."
