Trachyandesite
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Trachyandesite is an extrusive igneous rock with a composition between trachyte and andesite. 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.
Trachyandesitic magma can produce explosive Plinian eruptions, such as happened at Tambora in 1815.
