Basaltic Trachyandesite and Troctolite Definition

Definition of Basaltic Trachyandesite and Troctolite

The general Basaltic Trachyandesite and Troctolite definition can be stated as: Basaltic Trachyandesite is an extrusive igneous rock which is a type of Basalt rock and is formed by the rapid cooling of basaltic lava exposed at or very near the Earth's surface. On the other hand, Troctolite is a mafic intrusive rock type. It consists essentially of major but variable amounts of olivine and calcic plagioclase along with minor pyroxene. It is an olivine-rich anorthosite, or a pyroxene-depleted relative of gabbro.
