How unloading acts as a weathering agent?
Unloading acts as a weathering agent by breaking bedrock into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area along which chemical reactions can occur, which eventually leads to weathering.
What is granites grain shape?

What minerals occur in granite?
Granite is composed of feldspar, quartz, biotite and muscovite mica. It has a high amount of silica. Granite is an igneous rock.
Exfoliated domes are made out of what type of rock?
Igneous rock, typically granite.
What are the reasons that exfoliation of granite occurs?
Exfoliation of bodies of granite rock can occur from chemical weathering of the surface, differences in temperature, salt crystallization, and release of pressure.

Which granite will boost our home value the most?
Granite slabs seem to be more economical for the same purpose. They can be bought pre-fabricated and installed by the company. However, if you want to do the work yourself, granite tile would be much easier. Typically, slab granite looks much more seamless, therefore boosting the aesthetic value more than granite tile.
What is the responsible for the formation of exfoliation domes?
Granite forms plutonsof igneous rock several kilometers below the surface as magmaslowly cools and crystallizes. The granite is under great overhead pressure.Then, granite is uplifted to the surface during a mountain-building event. During the mountain building process, the overlying rock iseroded as the granite is uplifted, and the pressure on the granite reduced. The granite expands and forms fractures or sheet joints parallel to the surface. The granite then erodes in concentric layers (similar to how an onion peels) forming rounded masses called exfoliationdomes.
What is the mineral composition of granite?
the mineral composition of granite isfeldspar,diamond,talc,chalk and other plutonic rocks
Is scoria a granite rock?
No. Scoria is a basaltic lava ejected as fragments from a volcano, typically with a frothy texture.
