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.
