Talk:Andesite

message: Andesite is a fine-grained, extrusive igneous rock with anhedral or euhedral crystals. It's an intermediate rock and it has a medium color. It occurs when lava or magma from an andesite volcano cools underground. It usually has 55 to 65% total silica content, along with plagioclase feldspar(andesine and oligoclase), pyroxene, amphibole and biotite mica.
::OK. Whoever that was, wrong, wrong, wrong. How can it be an extrusive rock which cools underground? Really. Rolinator 05:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is an extrusive rock. It cools near the surface or at the surface (or somewhere where heat can escape relatively fast). This is why it is fine grained. 38.100.75.194 (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: @38.100.75.194 is it a hard rock or soft? why doesn't article say? it's used in ancient temples in Indonesia. Carvings 2600:1010:B115:F884:0:4D:9DF8:2501 (talk) 07:21, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong Info

message: Don't know much about geology, but I have a feeling that this article has suffered from some juvenile sabotage:
The water and initial tylerisstupid slab melts rise into the mantle wedge...
The following part looks odd, too, unless it is some technical code unfamiliar to me:
Ultimately, the resultant composition of andesite and intermediate magmas is the result of fractional crystallisation, assimilation, partial melting cbnvcnvcnnbvcnbvc and contaminaton by the subducted slab.

thread_title:  Thin section photomicrograph 

message: There appears to be a few words missing towards the end of the section, "Generation of melts in island arcs":
"Although there is evidence to suggest that the subducting oceanic crust may also melt during this process, the relative contribution of the three components (crust, sediment, and wedge) to the they also happen to self combust
and they are electric generated basalts is still a matter of debate."
Where it says "to the they", was this originally intended to read, "to the theory that they"? Invertzoo (talk) 12:34, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
