Volcanic rocks are formed from lithification magma that occurs on the surface of the earth. This lithification process can be influenced by climatic conditions in locations where volcanic rocks are formed. Koppen’s climate map divides the region in the world into 5 (five) climates, namely: tropical climates, dry climates, temperate/mesothermal climates, continental/microthermal climates, and polar climates. This study was conducted by collecting various literature from the results of research on the geochemical content of volcanic rocks from various locations in the world to classify the types/types of volcanic rocks based on their climate. Grouping types/types of volcanic rocks are using a diagram of Total Alkali versus Silica (TAS diagram). From the results of this review, it was found that volcanic rocks in tropical climates generally are basalt and andesite; volcanic rocks in dry climates generally vary from basaltic trachyte-andesite, trachyte-andesite, andesite, and trachyte; volcanic rocks in the temperate/mesothermal climates generally are dacite and trachydacite; the volcanic rocks of the continental/microthermal climates are generally basaltic andesite, andesite, and dacite.
