Formation of Trachyte
Trachyte is an igneous volcanic rock with an aphanitic to porphyritic texture. It is the volcanic equivalent of syenite rock and forms as a result of magmatic differentiation.

Trachyte Formation
Trachyte formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Trachyte Uses and the Trachyte Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Trachyte is explained below:
