Granite is primarily found in continental crust and is a major component of the continental plates. The tectonic plates that are predominantly composed of granite include the North American Plate, the Eurasian Plate, and the Australian Plate. These plates contain large areas of continental landmass where granite is commonly present. In contrast, oceanic plates are primarily composed of basalt rather than granite.
Granite is not an element. It is a common type of igneous rock composed of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. These minerals are made up of elements like oxygen, silicon, aluminum, potassium, and others.
Granite. Most of the crust is composed of granite. Feldspar is the most common mineral in the earth's crust.Silicon, (Si) and Alluminium, (Al).
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is composed largely of the minerals calcite.
