How is Andesite Formed

539 Views    120 Likes

Andesite rocks will form in regions above subduction zones. This formation usually occurs after oceanic plates melt amid the subduction zone, as the melting serves as a source of magma. When such magma erupts to the surface, it creates a fine-grained rock that crystallizes quickly. Quartz is among the most common elements to be found in Andesite.
