What are some examples of intrusive igneous rock?
Granite and gabbro are the two biggies, granite being formed underground by felsic magma, and gabbro being formed underground by mafic magma. Diorite and peridotite are two others.
What type of rock is the El Capitan Rock?
El Capitan in Yosemite National Park is primarily composed of granite, a type of igneous rock formed from the cooling of magma underground. Its distinct features and sheer vertical walls have made it a popular destination for rock climbers.
What speed does granite cool down?
Granite, the rock, is formed as magma slowly cools and crystallizes (solidifies) over great lengths of time, deep underground. The result is that visible crystals form, as the minerals have plenty of time to grow.
Is granite and slate the same?
No. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the solidification of magma underground. Slate is a low grade metamorphic rock formed from heat and pressure applied to deposits of shale, a sedimentary rock.
Is granite formed from rapidly cooling magma?
No."Granite is formed by the slow cooling & crystallization of magma at some depth in the earth's crust, as indicated by its characteristic phaneritic & phaneritic-porphyritic texture."-The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks & Minerals

No. Granite is an igenous rock that is formed underground.
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.

Is granite granite?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock (formed from the slow cooling of magma underground), the major component of the continental crust, coarse grained, and composed of quartz along with a variety of feldspar minerals and micas.
