IUGS Chart 2c. QAP. IUGS diagram for naming volcanic/aphanitic igneous rocks with quartz present. Names are based on the relative modal proportions of quartz (Q), alkali feldspar (A), and plagioclase feldspar (P). Use the Mafic Mineral percentage slider to see the andesite classification change to basalt for rocks with M>35%.
