Trivia

  • In real life, andesite is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning that it is formed from magma (thus igneous) that had flowed out to the surface (thus extrusive) as lava and cooled down.
  • Andesite`s intrusive counterpart is Diorite, meaning that diorite and andesite are made of the same materials but diorite formed inside the earth instead of flowing out.
  • In other words, andesite is rock formed from cooled lava, and diorite is rock formed from cooled magma.
