AI overview

Andesite is a volcanic rock that falls between basalt and rhyolite in terms of silica content, making it an intermediate type of igneous rock. It is composed mainly of sodium-rich plagioclase minerals along with pyroxene or hornblende, and has a fine-grained texture that may include some larger crystals visible to the naked eye.
