What does DACITE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A pale volcanic rock with fine grains, between andesite and rhyolite in make-up and rich in quartz and plagioclase.
Dacite forms from thick, sticky lava that tends to erupt explosively, so it is common around steep volcanoes such as Mount St. Helens. It is named after Dacia, the Roman province in what is now Romania, where the rock was first described. Geologists classify it by its silica content, which sits between that of andesite and rhyolite.
