Sedimentary, which comes from the compression and cementation of sediments which are weathered parts of either igneous, metamorphic, or other sedimentary rocks.
Plymouth Rock is an igneous rock, specifically a glacial erratic. It is made of a type of granite called Dedham Granite.
Yes, granite is an example of an igneous rock.
No, granite is not a soft rock. It is a hard, durable rock that is commonly used in construction due to its strength and resistance to wear and tear.
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.
Granite, or any other rock for that matter, can become metamorphic, sedimentary, or igneous at any time. If the granite is weathered and eroded by wind, water, etc. and the lithified (cemented), it becomes a sedimentary rock. If it melts within the Earth under extreme temperatures and then cools to a solid state, it is an igneous rock. Likewise, if the granite is exposed to extreme temperature and pressure, it can change back into a metamorphic rock. Like I said, these same processes hold true for any rock or mineral in what is known as the Rock Cycle.
how in i supposed to know
When granite is subjected to enough heat and pressure, it becomes a metamorphic rock called gneiss.
Heat and pressure
Fine sand Course sand Gravel Boulder Solid rock
When granite melts and then solidifies, it becomes igneous rock. This process of melting and solidifying is known as the rock cycle. The resulting igneous rock may have a different texture or composition compared to the original granite.
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.
No, granite is the most common intrusive igneous rock.
it goes through the rock cycle together
