Gneiss
The daughter rock of granite is gneiss. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite, where the minerals in the granite recrystallize and align into distinct bands or layers, giving gneiss its characteristic appearance.
Yes, that description fits gneiss rock. Gneiss forms from the metamorphism of granite or other rocks, resulting in distinct wavy bands of dark and light mineral layers. This banding is a key characteristic of gneiss and helps distinguish it from granite.
what does the granite rock look like
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock.
No. Granite is an intrusive felsic rock.
Granite is an igneous rock.
The metamorphism of granite would likely result in the formation of gneiss, a coarse-grained foliated rock with distinct bands of minerals. The high temperature and pressure during metamorphism would cause the minerals in the granite to recrystallize and align, giving gneiss its characteristic banded appearance.
No, granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock.

There are man made imitations but real granite is a natural rock.
Plymouth Rock is an igneous rock, specifically a glacial erratic. It is made of a type of granite called Dedham Granite.
