Andesite Vesicules

Chemical Process (Vapor-phase Growth) - Closed system under ground

Required Geological Setting

Island arc volcanoes, Intra-oceanic arc volcanoes

Occurrence

Minerals in vesicules of andesites. Gas components in andesite magma is released in the cooling process of lava, and they form open spaces as vesicules in andesites. Vesicules are distributed at the upper parts of domes, and are very few at the lower parts.
