The SiC>2 vs. K2O plot (Fig. 7.8) shows that the Lipari volcanics define a steep increase in K2O from mafic to intermediate rocks, straddling the limits between arc tholeiitic, calc-alkaline and shoshonitic series. Basaltic andesites and andesites have porphyritic textures with phenocrysts of zoned...
