No. Granite forms below the surface.
Granite have small or large grains?

What does granite form from?

How did talus caves form?
Talus caves form when rocks pile up at the base of a cliff or slope, creating a gap between the rocks and the cliff face. Over time, erosion and weathering can widen and deepen this gap, creating a cave-like structure. Talus caves are typically found in areas with steep cliffs and loose rock material.

Does Granite cools very quickly?
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.
