Granite is an intrusive igneous rock so that means magma cools under ground.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat from the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The metamorphosed limestone will most likely be a skarn or marble, both formed from contact with an intruding granitic magma.
What kind of rock is likely to form where the heat the granitic magma is conducted to the limestone country rock?
The rock which will form will be marble because the limestone undergoes metamorphosis (partial recrystallisation).
What rock makes up most of the earth's continents?
Granitic igneous rock.
Is Pumis granitic?
no. pumice is a volcanic rock (igneous)
Is syenite granitic?
Syenite is not granitic. Quartz is one of the main minerals found in granitic rock. Syenite contains little or no quartz, but otherwise has the same general composition as granite.
What are granitic rocks?
Granitic rock is intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it has been formed from the slow cooling of magma underground and will have visible crystals. Granitic, in general, refers to a mineral composition that is felsic in nature, meaning it consists of 69% or more silicate minerals, like quartz, alkali feldspars, and micas.
Does granite form on top of the crust?
No. Granite forms underground in the crust. If granitic magma reaches the surface and cools it forms a rock called rhyolite.
What are rocks that form Earth's crust?
The rocks of the crust are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic in origin. The base rock of the oceanic crust are mainly basaltic and the base rock of the continental crust is mainly granitic.
What types of rock make up the platform on which the rest of Canada is built?
The continental crust/plate/platform is the layer of granitic, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks which form the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves. This layer is sometimes called Sial due to its granitic rock, in contrast to the oceanic crust, called Sima due to its basaltic (also called mafic) rock
What are the magmas the three families of igneous rock form from?
There are many different types of ignoues rock, but as a general description, mafic, felsic and intermediate rocks are formd from basaltic, granitic, and andesitic magmas respectively.
What geological processes are implied if a granitic body of rock is found exposed at the surface?
All processes creating the granitic intrusion would be implied: plate tectonics, subduction, melting, buoyancy of magma, cooling of magma. In addition to these processes, you could add uplift, weathering, and erosion.
From which rock is Golconda Fort made?
Golconda Fort is primarily made of a form of granitic rock known as "grey granite." This type of rock is known for its durability and strength, which made it a popular choice for building forts and structures in the region.
