TrachyandesiteTrachyandesite is an extrusive igneous rock. It has little or no free quartz, but is dominated by alkali feldspar and sodic plagioclase along with one or more of the following mafic minerals: amphibole, biotite or pyroxene. Small amounts of nepheline may be present and apatite is a common accessory mineral. Additional recommended knowledgeTrachyandesitic magma can produce explosive Plinian eruptions, such as happened at Tambora in 1815. |
