No. It is volcanic. The plutonic equivalent of andesite is diorite.
The volcanic equivalent of norite is andesite. Both rock types are classified as intermediate in composition, with norite being a plutonic igneous rock and andesite being its volcanic counterpart formed from the same magma source.
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.
Solid plutonic rocks are intrusive igneous rocks such as granite and gabbro.
No. Foliation is a term that applies to metamorphic rocks. Andesite is igneous.
Granite is a plutonic rock, meaning it forms from the slow cooling and crystallization of magma underground. It is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals.
Andesite is the eruptive version of plutonic diorite. The name comes from the Andes, where it is the common volcanic ejecta.
The volcanic equivalent of norite is andesite. Both rock types are classified as intermediate in composition, with norite being a plutonic igneous rock and andesite being its volcanic counterpart formed from the same magma source.
Andesite is a moderate weight volcanic rock, first described from the Andes. It is the volcanic (extrusive) equivalent in composition to diorite of the plutonic rocks. It will be found in granite areas.
No. Andesite is a volcanic rock.
No. Andesite is an extrusive igneous 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.
Yes. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
Yes. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite
Cooled magma is turned into a plutonic igneous rock, eg. Granite (you can see the difference between plutonic and volcanic because plutonic have large crystal particles)
