What is volcanic equivalent of norite?
It would be a high-magnesium tholeitic basalt or picrite. A basaltic lava containing the same minerals as norite but fine-grained i.e. hypertsthene, olivine, calcic plagioclase feldspar. Such basalts can be found on Earth and on the Moon.
How old is andesite?
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.
What are the names of a plutonic solid?
Solid plutonic rocks are intrusive igneous rocks such as granite and gabbro.
Is andesite a foliated rock?
No. Foliation is a term that applies to metamorphic rocks. Andesite is igneous.
Is granite plutonic or volcanic?
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.
Can andesite be mined in australia?
Andesite is the eruptive version of plutonic diorite. The name comes from the Andes, where it is the common volcanic ejecta.

Where is Andesite found?
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.
Is andesite sandstone?

Is Andesite an igneous?
Yes. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.
Is andesite an extrusive rock?
Yes. Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of diorite
What is classifies into?
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)
