A stratovolcano is a name given to a volcano that has grown by progressive stacking of eruptive products (e.g. lava flows and pyroclastic flows). The term composite volcano is often preferred as it does not suggest that this stacking occurs in neat layers (i.e. 'strata' is a geological term for a layer of rock).
Andesite is a type of igneous rock which is characterized by an intermediate amount of silica. It has more silica than basalts (e.g. Hawaii) and less silica than dacites (e.g. Mt. St. Helens).which it means active

What is the difference of andesitic and andesite?
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.
The most violent volcanic activity is associated with?
The most violent volcanic explosions are usually generated from composite volcanoes and andesitic lava flows. These types of eruptions can throw lava and other debris several miles into the atmosphere.
Is pumice andesitic?
Not necessarily. Pumice can be andesitic, but it may be rhyolitic or dacitic.
What igneous rocks have a mineral composition between that of granitic and basaltic rocks?
Andesitic igneous rock.
What minerals are found in andesitic rocks?
Feldspars, biotite, magnetite, and quartz are found in varying degrees in igneous andesitic rocks.
Is basaltic lava less fluid than andesitic lava?
No. Basaltic lava has less silica than andesitic lava which makes it less viscous and so basaltic lava flows more easily than andesitic lava.
What are 3 kinds of magma?
Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, and Rhyolitic Lava :] (glad to help)
What type of lava flows from llaima?
basaltic-andesitic
How extrusive rocks form?
extrusive rocks can form from Basaltic Lava and Andesitic Lava. :)
What are three different types of lava?
Basaltic, andesitic and rhyolitic
What materials are ejected from andesitic composite volcanoes?
ash and lava
How are lava and pyroclastic classified?
Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.
Does Krakatoa make pillow lava?
No. Pillow lava is basaltic, low-viscosity lava. Krakatoa is a stratovolcano with a style of ereuption more characteristic of high-viscosity andesitic lava.
How are lava and pyroclastic material classified?
Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.
What is the difference of andesitic and andesite?
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.
What volcano type was monserrat volcano?
It is a stratovolcano with a lava dome complex in its crater.
What kind of lava flows from Popocatepetl?
Popocat?petl produces a mixture of andesitic and dacite lava in the current cycle of activity. Andesitic, or Basaltic Andesite, is black volcanic rock that contains 55% silica. Dacite, on the other hand, is an igneous, volcanic rock that has a composition that is between Andesite and Rhyolite.
