calc-alkaline
calc-alkaline The name given to a suite of rocks comprising the volcanic association
basalt-
andesite-
dacite-
rhyolite, or the
plutonic association
gabbro-
diorite-
granodiorite-
granite. The suite is defined chemically using a graph depicting the variation of CaO and (Na
2O + K
2O) with SiO
2 (wt.%), and is classified as calc-alkaline if the SiO
2 value at the intersection of the CaO and (Na
2O + K
2O) trends is between 56 and 61 SiO
2 wt.%. (Less than 51 SiO
2 wt. % and the rock suite is classed as belonging to the alkalic series, 51–56 SiO
2 wt. % to the alkali-calcic series, and more than 61 SiO
2 wt. % to the calcic series.) Calc-alkaline rocks are typically developed on the continental side of
plate subduction zones, well-known examples occurring in the Andes of S. America and in Japan.
