Types of Dacite and Basaltic Trachyandesite
Some rocks according to their use or texture are classified into different types. Know more about Dacite Texture and Basaltic Trachyandesite Texture. Types of Dacite are Footwall Dacite, Hanging wall Dacite, Tuff and Biotite Dacite whereas the types of Basaltic Trachyandesite are Alkaline Basalt, Boninite, High Alumina Basalt, Mid Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), Tholeiitic Basalt, Basaltic trachyandesite, Mugearite and Shoshonite.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.
