Abstract
Currently, active volcanoes on Earth erupt andesite more than any other rock type. These andesite sources are frequently stunning in beauty yet are sometimes lethal in effect. Although their eruptions cause more damage to property and environment than to persons, some people, including volcanologists, died violently due to eruptions of andesite while this book was being written in academic safety.
