Granite becomes exposed, is weathered into small particles, erodes from transportation by water, ice, wind, and gravity, is deposited in still waters or in dunes, and is compressed and cemented into sedimentary rock. This is one example of a path it could take in the rock cycle. There are others.

Which is a sedimentary rock granite or limestone?

What is granite in sedimentary form?

Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is not typically found in sedimentary form as it is predominantly composed of interlocking crystals of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Sedimentary rocks, on the other hand, are formed from the accumulation and compaction of sediments like sand, clay, and organic material.
