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.
