It has been used to make many buildings in the US and it is a metamorphic rock
Slowly
above
in my opinion, i like granite
Granite is best, looks cool too
The rate of weathering if a granite monument is placed outside for 200 years in a cool dry climate would be slow.
Hi people (=^.^=)
Granite is formed from the slow cooling of magma.
No. Granite cools relatively slowly; its large crystals are one method of observing this. Granite is referred to as a "phaneritic" igneous rock, meaning that it is coarse-grained. Coarse-grained rocks cool slowly, which means that the minerals have time to form large crystals before the rock solidifies. A rock with the same composition as granite that does cool quickly is called rhyolite.
Granite cools slowly underground, allowing for the formation of larger crystals. This slow cooling process contributes to its coarse-grained texture and characteristic patterns.
Granite cools slowly underground, allowing minerals to crystallize and form a coarse-grained texture. The cooling process involves the slow solidification of molten rock that forms granite. This slow cooling allows large mineral grains to grow.
A granitic rock is an igneous rock formed by magma cooling as it approaches the earth's surface. Different rocks within the granite family are distinguished by whether they cool beneath the surface of the earth or above it. The crystalline structure of the rocks varies based on this.
Elberton granite was formed through the slow cooling and solidification of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface over millions of years. The granite is primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals, giving it its characteristic hardness and durability.
