The 22 pages that link to Andesite, each with the reason it gives.

• SubductionRelated: Subduction generates continental-type andesitic magmas that build continental crust.

• BasaltCompared with: Andesite is generally richer in silica than basalt and common at subduction-zone volcanoes.

• StratovolcanoRelated: Andesitic magma is common in stratovolcanoes and can be viscous enough to trap gases.

• Volcanic arcRelated: Andesite is a characteristic rock of many arc volcanoes.

• Lava flowRelated: Andesitic lava is generally more viscous than basaltic lava and travels differently.

• ObsidianCompared with: Andesite crystallizes as lava cools, unlike obsidian’s rapidly quenched glass.

• LavaBroader topic: Andesitic lava is generally more viscous than basaltic lava.

• Island arcBroader topic: Its prevalence in arcs raises questions about how mantle-derived magma acquires intermediate compositions.

• Mantle wedgeBroader topic: Wedge melting plus crustal processing yields the andesitic compositions that dominate arcs.

• BorobudurRelated: Its durable blocks form Borobudur’s massive masonry.

• Flux meltingBroader topic: Andesite is a familiar arc product, though its composition can involve later differentiation and crustal interaction.

• Volcanic rockBroader topic: It commonly forms in volcanic arcs above subduction zones.

• Central American Volcanic ArcRelated: Andesitic compositions are characteristic of many volcanoes in the Central American arc.

• ScoriaRelated: Andesitic eruptions can also produce scoria, showing it is not exclusively basaltic.

• Extrusive rockBroader topic: Andesite is a common extrusive rock associated with many volcanic arcs.

• Mount MerapiRelated: Merapi commonly erupts andesitic magma, which can be viscous enough to build domes.

• South Sandwich IslandsRelated: Andesitic eruptions occur at volcanoes in the island chain.

• DaciteCompared with: Andesite generally has less silica than dacite and helps define its lower-composition boundary.

• GalerasRelated: Andesitic rocks are characteristic of Galeras’s volcanic products.

• HeklaRelated: Hekla’s magma produces andesitic rocks alongside other compositions.

• MayonRelated: Andesitic magma is associated with Mayon’s explosive eruptions and lava flows.

• MistiRelated: Andesite is characteristic of magma erupted by many volcanoes in the Andean arc.
