What kind of volcano creates granite?
Granite is formed when molten rock, or magma, cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. This type of volcano is known as a plutonic or intrusive volcano. These volcanoes do not erupt on the surface but instead form large bodies of igneous rock underground, where the magma slowly cools over time.
Who has any volcano jokes?
What did the BOY VOLCANO say to the GIRL VOLCANO? Answer: I LAVA U
What type of volcano is yosemite granite domes?
Yosemite granite domes are not volcanoes. They are geological formations resulting from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface, followed by uplift and erosion that exposed the underlying granite. There is no volcanic activity associated with Yosemite granite domes.
What volcano does obsidian come from?
Obsidian is a felsic glass. At depth, it will crystallize to form granite. On the other hand it turns into perlite on reacting with water. At high grade it recrystallizes to form felsic glass.
Is Bennachie an extinct volcano?
No, Bennachie in Scotland is not an extinct volcano. It is part of the Grampian mountain range and is formed from ancient granite and schist rocks. Its distinctive shape and location are a result of geological processes, not volcanic activity.

What type of climate does granite last longest in?
An extremely hot climate (volcano) because granite is an igneous rock.

What does granite form from?
In the volcano/magma chamber, different minerals that make up granite, (feldspar, quartz, etc.) mix to form grainy, large crystals of the different minerals. That is how granite is formed.
What sort of rock was Edinburgh Castle built on?
Granite. It is the plug of an ancient volcano apparrently.
Is scoria a granite rock?
No. Scoria is a basaltic lava ejected as fragments from a volcano, typically with a frothy texture.

Why is the texture of rhyolite different from the texture granite?
The texture of rhyolite is fine-grained due to its rapid cooling at the Earth's surface, whereas granite has a coarse-grained texture because it cools slowly deep underground. The different cooling rates lead to variations in crystal size and arrangement, giving each rock its distinctive texture.
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
Is Bennachie an extinct volcano?
No, Bennachie in Scotland is not an extinct volcano. It is part of the Grampian mountain range and is formed from ancient granite and schist rocks. Its distinctive shape and location are a result of geological processes, not volcanic activity.
Is the Sugarloaf in Ireland a volcano?
No. But there is a volcano in Ireland and it erupted last year! That volcano was in Iceland. Regarding the sugarloaf, there are a number of sugarloaf mountains in Ireland. Only 1 is a volcano which is extinct. Ireland has many volcanos all of which are extinct.
