QAPF diagram with basalt/andesite field highlighted in yellow. Andesite is distinguished from basalt by SiO 2 > 52%. Andesite is field O2 in the TAS classification.. Andesite is an aphanitic (fine-grained) to porphyritic (coarse-grained) igneous rock that is intermediate in its content of silica and low in alkali metals.
The types of minerals present in volcanic ash are dependent on the chemistry of the magma from which it erupted. Considering that the most abundant elements found in silicate magma are silicon and oxygen, the various types of magma (and therefore ash) produced during volcanic eruptions are most commonly explained in terms of their silica content.
The tholeiitic magma series (/ ˌ θ oʊ l i ˈ aɪ t ɪ k /) is one of two main magma series in subalkaline igneous rocks, the other being the calc-alkaline series. A magma series is a chemically distinct range of magma compositions that describes the evolution of a mafic magma into a more evolved, silica rich end member.
The breccias in the Fifes Peak are mostly shades of gray, purple, and red, with angular to subrounded rock fragments cemented by ash. The fragments are a few inches in dimension, rarely a foot long. They are mostly andesite porphyry, pumice, and glass. With fewer rock fragments, the breccias is a buff and tan. Pieces of petrified wood may be ...
