What is larger sill dike laccolith or batholith?

A batholith is the largest intrusive igneous formation, made up of a large mass of granite or granitic rocks, that covers an area of tens to hundreds of square kilometers.

What type of rock was Mount Rushmore carved by igneous metamorphic or sedimentary?

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located along the northeast edge of what is known as the Harney Peak Granite Batholith in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A batholith is a geologic feature that formed by the cooling of a large igneous body of magma below the earth's surface; if a similar igneous body reaches the earth's surface, it would form a volcanic feature such as a lava flow. The Black Hills magma was emplaced into the older "host" mica schist rocks during Precambrian time, approximately 1.7 billion years ago! Source: National Park Service

Why don't we use an average granite as a source for useful metal?

1. Granite is a course-grained intrusive silicic igneous rock, it is a nonmetallic resource. Therefore they are not malleable nor a conductor. Even though granite contains metal ions, the minerals in granite contain relatively little metal, so it would cost more to separate the metal from the granite.

Is a rune platebody better than a granite body on runescape?

ANSWER #1: Well im not sure wether granite is better then rune (i hear alot of rumours) but I can run from the G.E to falador with full granite with only lvl 9 agility and that makes like no difference....it is only a little better. right now, its close to being almost 100k more than rune pl8. its really heavy, and only give alittle bit more than the rune pl8. i would stick with the rune if i were you. . .another one is dragon pl8 skirt and legs. same stats, but the legs are alomst 1m and the skirt is like 170k.ANSWER #2: Granite is better defence stats apart from the helm so if i was you i would buy full granite but with a rune full helm that way you have the most amount of defence stats and its lighter than if you had the granite helm on


If a mass of granite is in contact with a layer of sandstone that contains small pieces of the granite which rock is older?

The granite would be older because it had to form first in order for the sandstone to contain pieces of it. The sandstone would have formed later on top of the granite layer.
