Can sea caves form with granite?

What igneous rock forms on top of the earth's crust?
They actually form on the bottom of Earth's surface, since igneous(the word) is derived from molten magma
What would granite form from?
Granite is the rock type/magma produced when one melts continental crust. It can also form by fractionation of more basaltic magmas.
What kinds of rocks form most of the crust of the earth?
The majority of Earth's crust is composed of igneous rocks, particularly basalt and granite. These rocks form through the cooling and solidification of molten material from beneath the Earth's surface.
What is it called when granite makes up the continental crust?

What This layer of the crust is made of granite?
The layer of the crust that is made of granite is called the continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to the oceanic crust, which is made of basalt. The continental crust is primarily composed of granite and covers the Earth's continents.
What is the top of the lithosphere made out of?
The top of the lithosphere is made of the Earth's crust, which includes both the continental crust (composed mainly of granite rocks) and the oceanic crust (composed mainly of basalt rocks). The crust is what we walk on and is relatively thin compared to the underlying mantle.
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form the hydrosphere or lithosphere?
The top part of the mantle and the crust above it form into lithosphere.
Which earths crust contains granite?
Continental crust contains granite. This type of crust is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust. Granite is a common rock in the continental crust due to its formation through the cooling and solidification of magma below the Earth's surface.
What layer of the earth contains granite and basalt in the GREATEST abundance?
The crust is the layer of the Earth that contains granite and basalt in the greatest abundance. These rocks are commonly found in the continental crust (granite) and oceanic crust (basalt).
What continental crust has the average composition of?
Granite. Most of the crust is composed of granite. Feldspar is the most common mineral in the earth's crust.Silicon, (Si) and Alluminium, (Al).
