Andesite is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma with a composition intermediate between basalt and granite. It commonly forms in volcanic settings through the partial melting of oceanic crust or the mixing of magma from different sources. The slow cooling process allows for the formation of crystals, giving andesite its characteristic texture.
