Meaning of "variolitic" in English

"Variolitic" is a term used in geology to describe a specific texture found in igneous rocks. This texture is characterized by small, rounded, spherulitic formations that resemble variolites, a type of volcanic structure. These formations are usually composed of silicate minerals and are often seen in basaltic or andesitic rocks. The word is derived from "variolite," which refers to these spherulitic masses. The presence of a variolitic texture can provide geologists with insights into the cooling history and composition of a lava flow or intrusion.

Meaning of "variolitique" in French

"Variolitique" en français se réfère à une texture spécifique observée dans certaines roches ignées. Cette texture est caractérisée par des formations spherulitiques petites et rondes, similaires à des variolites, un type de formation volcanique. Composées généralement de minéraux silicatés, ces formations se retrouvent souvent dans des roches basaltiques ou andésitiques. Le terme est dérivé de "variolite," qui désigne ces formations sphériques. La texture variolitique peut fournir aux géologues des indices sur l'histoire du refroidissement et la composition d'une coulée de lave ou d'une intrusion.
