Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
None of those. Scoria, Pumice and Granite are igneous rocks. Sandstone is sedimentary.
it is sandstone
I am very sure that granite is much stronger and harder than sandstone.
Quartzite, granite, and sandstone are all types of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. They are related in the sense that they are formed from different processes involving the compression and transformation of sediments. Quartzite is derived from sandstone through intense heat and pressure, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Sandstone, on the other hand, is formed from sand particles that are compacted and cemented together over time.
The Granite

granite is older, Granite goes back more than 300 mya to the Ancestral Rockies or the first Rocky Mountains-Fountain Formation
Granite does not have rounded grains but contains interlocking grains. An example of a rock with rounded grains is a sandstone.

shale and sandstone
When granite and sandstone come into contact, the granite is usually the intrusive rock that has cooled beneath the Earth's surface, while the sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from compacted sand grains. The contact between them is known as an intrusive-extrusive contact. This contact can lead to metamorphism in the sandstone due to the heat and pressure from the granite intrusion.
Weathering causes the granite to break down into small particles - sand. The sand becomes buried and compacts into sandstone. If the sandstone continues to be buried and comes into close contact with high heat, such as magma, it can be turned into quartzite.

granite
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust, characterized by its interlocking crystals of minerals like feldspar, quartz, and mica. Sandstone, on the other hand, is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized mineral particles and rock fragments, usually cemented together by minerals like quartz or calcite. Granite is more durable and resistant to weathering compared to sandstone.
