Igneous rock soil mixes typically consist of volcanic rocks such as basalt, andesite, or rhyolite. These rocks weather over time to produce mineral-rich soils with good drainage and fertility. Igneous rock soils are commonly found in areas with volcanic activity.
Mount Tambora in Indonesia primarily consists of andesite and dacite rocks. These igneous rocks were formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. Andesite is a fine-grained rock that is intermediate in composition between basalt and rhyolite, while dacite is a fine-grained volcanic rock with a similar composition to andesite but with higher silica content.
yes they are but only because of metamorphosis and the reaction the mineral has. The mineral takes years maybe century's to cool down. it has a crystallized diamond shape and can be found in many shapes, and colors.
Extrusive igneous rock would be found near a volcano. Basalt, andesite, and rhyolite are the most basic types of volcanic rock.
An example of an extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Basalt forms from the rapid cooling of lava on the Earth's surface and is commonly found in volcanic areas. It has a fine-grained texture due to its quick cooling process.
The mineral found in granite, andesite, gneiss, and hornfels is feldspar. It is a common mineral in these rock types and can exist in different varieties such as orthoclase, plagioclase, or potassium feldspar.
Three minerals commonly found with quartz in andesite rock are feldspar (specifically plagioclase), biotite mica, and amphibole (such as hornblende). These minerals are all typically present in andesite as part of the overall composition of the rock.

Andesite is a type of volcanic igneous rock that typically forms from the cooling and crystallization of magma that is intermediate in composition between basalt and rhyolite. It is characterized by a gray to black color with small mineral grains, and is commonly found in volcanic regions such as the Andes Mountains.
Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock found on or near volcanoes that contain intermediate magmas.
No. Andesite is classed as an 'intermediate' rock, being halfway in composition between a mafic and felsic rock. Mafic rocks are those that contain alot of ferromagnesian minerals (iron and magnesium) which give mafic rocks their dark colouring. Typical ferromagnesian minerals include olivine and pyroxene. Typical mafic rocks are basalt and gabbro. Felsic rocks, on the other hand, are low in magnesium and iron and are usually light in colour, such as granite and rhyolite. Andesite therefore typically contains a mixture of both felsic and mafic minerals and is classed as 'intermediate'.
Yes

No. Calcium carbonate is found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks such as andesite are composed almost entirely of silicates.
Andesite is commonly found in volcanic areas where it forms from the cooling of lava flows. It can also be found in areas where ancient volcanic activity occurred, and is sometimes used as a building material for its durability and attractive appearance.
