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.
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.

I'm pretty sure that the thin section in the article is in cross nicols and not in plane polarized light.38.100.75.194 (talk)15:14, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, "polarised light" means nothing -- it should say whether it's plane-polarised light or between crossed polars. The image itself has metadata specifying the latter, so I've changed it. --Furrfu (talk)20:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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 combustand 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)[reply]
