Which process formed the granite that is mined in many areas of the US?
The cooling and solidification of magma.
Is diamond found in granite?
No. Diamonds are found with trace minerals in volcanic pipes, which geologically are not where granite is formed. (Granite is formed from silicate; diamonds are formed from carbon.)
Granite is formed from magma inside earth which type of rock is granite?
Granite is an igneous rock.
What process breaks down granite into sediment?
The process that breaks down granite into sediments is weathering.
Is granite formed from the metamorphism of a shale?
No. The metamorphism of shale forms slate. Granite is formed when high-silica magma cools underground.
Which process formed the granite that is mined in Vermont?
Up
How is ellberton granite firmed?
Elberton granite began 325 million years ago as a large mass of magma or molten rock. The magma rose upward and came to rest about nine miles beneath Elberton. There it cooled very slowly -- taking more than a million years -- and solidified into granite. That was more than 300 million years ago. Since then, the granite has been pushed upward, and the land above it has been removed by erosion.

Is granite a sedimentary rocks formed underground?
No. Granite is an igenous rock that is formed underground.
Is granite formed underground?
Yes. Granite is formed underground from solidifying felsic magma.
What is the ZIP code for Elberton Georgia?
The ZIP Code for Elberton, Georgia is 30635.
Granite is formed from magma inside earth which type of rock is granite?
Granite is an igneous rock.
Does granite form from magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
Does granite form magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
Is granite formed from lava cooling or magma cooling?
Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.
How is yosemite formed?
Yosemite rock consists primarily of granite. Granite is formed through volcanic activity near the surface.
