A type of magma which is a mix of basaltic and rhyolitic magma is called an andesitic magma. Andesite is called for the  rocks from this magma. A strombolian eruption would most likely result to this type of magma. This type of eruption has a relative mild explosion having a volcanic explosivity index of approximately 2 to 3. The flow of lava for this type are more viscous thus thicker and shorter.
