    Geochemical Classification and QAPF Diagram Placement
    Andesites fall within the volcanic field labeled 'Andesite' on the standard QAPF (Quartz-Plagioclase-Alkali Feldspar-Foid) diagram-diagram/) for volcanic rocks, provided the normative quartz content is between $10\%$ and $20\%$. When quartz exceeds $20\%$, the rock tends toward dacite.
    The typical bulk chemical composition of andesite, based on analysis of type specimens from the stratovolcanoes of the [Ring o…
