Difference between Andesite and Continental crust

Andesite vs. Continental crust

Andesite is a volcanic rock of intermediate composition. Continental crust is the layer of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks that forms the geological continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves.

Similarities between Andesite and Continental crust

Andesite and Continental crust have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Basalt, Convergent boundary, Fractional crystallization (geology), Intermediate composition, Island arc, Lithosphere, Magnesium, Mantle (geology), Oceanic crust, Pacific Plate, Plate tectonics, Subduction.

Basalt

Basalt is an aphanitic (fine-grained) extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of low-viscosity lava rich in magnesium and iron (mafic lava) exposed at or very near the surface of a rocky planet or moon.

Convergent boundary

A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.

Fractional crystallization (geology)

Fractional crystallization, or crystal fractionation, is one of the most important geochemical and physical processes operating within crust and mantle of a rocky planetary body, such as the Earth.

Intermediate composition

In igneous petrology, an intermediate composition refers to the chemical composition of a rock that has 51.563 wt% SiO2 being an intermediate between felsic and mafic compositions.

Pacific Plate

The Pacific Plate is an oceanic tectonic plate that lies beneath the Pacific Ocean.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since 3–4 billion years ago.

Subduction

Subduction is a geological process in which the oceanic lithosphere and some continental lithosphere is recycled into the Earth's mantle at convergent boundaries.

Andesite and Continental crust Comparison

Andesite has 90 relations, while Continental crust has 75. As they have in common 12, the Jaccard index is 7.27% = 12 / (90 + 75).
