Trachyte is common wherever alkali magma is erupted, including in late stages of volcanism of ocean islands and in continental rift valleys and above mantle plumes. Trachyte has also been found in Gale crater on Mars.
Where is trachyte found?
Trachyte is common wherever alkali magma is erupted, including in late stages of volcanism of ocean islands and in continental rift valleys and above mantle plumes. Trachyte has also been found in Gale crater on Mars.
How are trachyte formed?
Trachyte is commonly associated with other lavas in volcanic regions and is thought to have been formed by the crystallization and abstraction of iron, magnesium, and calcium minerals from a parent basaltic lava. Two types of trachyte are commonly recognized.
