Description

Makes me wonder if Maud also describes herself as a “high-functioning sociopath.”
 
I am not versed in geology, so I don’t know if “extrusive andesite” makes sense or whatnot, so these subtitles may not be super correct, but that’s what it sounds like to me.

I’d love to see one in the show tbh

Extrusive means that it was lava (above the surface) and andesite is a fine grained granitic rock named after the Andes mountains, where it is common. Gotta love the internet and a moderate curiosity of geology.
 
So yes, it does make sense (even if it isn’t sufficient to deduce that she was sledding). Anybody caption Maud’s Mohs hardness scale joke?

“Extrusive igneous rocks erupt onto the surface where they cool quickly to form small crystals. Some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous glass. These rocks include andesite, basalt, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria, and tuff.”
 
“Andesite is a large family of rocks that occur in most of the world’s volcanic areas. Andesites occur mainly as surface deposits and, to a lesser extent, as dikes and small plugs. Many of the deposits are not normal lava flows but rather flow breccias, mudflows, tuffs, and other fragmental rocks; the peperino near Rome and the trass of the Eifel district in Germany are examples. Not only the Andes, where the name was first applied to a series of lavas, but most of the cordillera (parallel mountain chains) of Central and North America consist largely of andesites. The same rock type occurs in abundance in volcanoes along practically the entire margin of the Pacific Basin. The volcanoes Montagne Pelée, the Soufrière of St. Vincent, Krakatoa, Bandai-san, Popocatépetl, Fuji, Ngauruhoe, Shasta, Hood, and Adams have emitted great quantities of andesitic rock.”
 
So yes, it’s a type of volcanic rock commonly found on mountains and (no surprise) volcanoes.

Don’t take this comment too serious people, I’m only kidding of course!
