False. The oceans are underlain by marine sediments and then a type of igneous rock known as basalt.

What is granite bedrock?
Bedrock is the rock that underlies the soil and sediment of an area. Granite is a type of igneous rock that forms when silica-rich molten rock cools and solidifies underground.
Where is granite most common?
Granite is a type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock and is the most abundant basement rock that underlies the relatively thin sedimentary veneer of the continents. It also often occurs as relatively small, less than 100 km² stock masses (stocks) and in batholiths that are often associated with orogenic mountain ranges.
How was the sedimentary rock that underlies the lowlands formed?
When the mountains got eroded, sediments broke off, and rolled down the mountain into the lowlands, that were oceans at the time, and the pressure from all the rocks fused them together, making it a sheet of sedimentary rock
What is granite in sedimentary form?
No, it's not a sedimentary rock, it is an igneous rock. :)
Is a igneous rock related to granite?

What is the most common igneous rock of the continent?
Granite for the continents; Basalt for the oceans.
Where does the world's granite supply come from?
Granitic rock is widely found throughout the continental crust of the Earth and is the most abundant basement rock that underlies the relatively thin sedimentary veneer of the continents. It is also formed by Magma.
What type of rock is the El Capitan Rock?

No it is definitely not.
Is granite a igneous rock?
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
Is granite a soft rock?
Granite is not a soft rock.
What is granite in sedimentary form?

What rock does granite form from heat and pressure?
The ONLY rock that Granite forms is the metamorphic rock Gneiss. Granite is the parent rock of Gneiss.
