Explore: Adakite

Adakites are volcanic rocks of intermediate to felsic composition that have geochemical characteristics of magma originally thought to have formed by partial

Ni, and Cr contents), adakites can be further divided into two groups, namely high SiO2 adakites (HSA) and low SiO2 adakites (LSA). It was then noted

oldest, and Taitao Granites and Taitao Ophiolite would be our main focus. Adakite magmatism is formed by the melting of the Nazca plate's trailing edge.

and Mount Moffett volcanoes are located on Adak. The igneous rock type adakite is named after Adak. Report from the Aleutians, a 1943 documentary about

Muertas. So-called "Pircas Negras" lavas with compositions similar to adakite have been found on the northern flanks of Los Patos. They contain amphibole

crystallization. Sanukitoids are similar in trace element compositions to "adakites" but with higher Mg and lower silica. Both suites are thought to form by

but smaller volumes of intraplate-like lavas, potassium rich rocks, and adakites are associated with the area. Middle Miocene adakitic (more felsic) rocks

at Licancabur, with some basaltic andesite and dacite. They define an adakite-like suite and are less crystalline than the rocks of other CVZ volcanoes
