Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2016 Asteroids are the largest minor bodies in the Solar System. Nowadays they are in the research focus due to several facts about them: first, a subclass of asteroids can collide with Earth, and consequences of such a collision are dramatic.

Nature, 2009 The production of terrestrial andesites in subduction zones is well established. Day et al. describe two examples of meteorites (GRA 06128 and GRA 06129) that they claim to represent "an entirely new mode of generation of andesite crust compositions" on asteroids; this suggestion has wide implications for the generation of andesitic planetary crusts in

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 133-151., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
