Types of Basaltic Trachyandesite and Trondhjemite

Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Basaltic Trachyandesite Texture and Trondhjemite Texture. Types of Basaltic Trachyandesite are Alkaline Basalt, Boninite, High Alumina Basalt, Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), Tholeiitic Basalt, Basaltic trachyandesite, Mugearite and Shoshonite whereas the types of Trondhjemite are Not Available.During historic times, some rocks depending on their hardness were used to create Pictographs and Petroglyphs. Rocks which are hard were generally not used. Pictographs are paintings or drawings that have been placed or created on the surface of rock. Basaltic Trachyandesite was used to create pictographs whereas Trondhjemite is not used to create pictographs. Petroglyph is an image which is carved into a rock. These are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving or abrading, as a form of rock art. Basaltic Trachyandesite was used to create petroglyphs whereas Trondhjemite was not used to create petroglyphs.
