A basaltic andesite flow was emplaced over the tephra, heating and fusing it into a coherent mass. Emplacement of the basaltic andesite caused secondary mobilization of the fusing tephra resulting in the distorted layering (flow-banding) observed in the fused tuff. The basaltic andesite also partly mixed with the rhyolitic liquid to produce a thin zone of dacite. 3, record 7, English, - basaltic%20andesite%20flow

Il existe [...] un volcanisme basaltique associé aux andésites, il présente une polarité très nette depuis le côté océanique (extérieur de l'arc) où il est de type tholeïtique, puis devient alumineux pour être finalement alcalin sur le côté continental. On retrouve là, une vieille notion, la ligne de l'andésite, qui avait frappé les géologues il y a déjà très longtemps : alors que toute la partie centrale du Pacifique présente un volcanisme de type basaltique, le volcanisme de ses bordures est de type andésitique. 2, record 19, French, - ligne%20and%C3%A9sitique
