The inner core.
it is not true
Neither. The Earth's outer core is primarily composed of molten iron and nickel. Basalt and granite are rock types found in Earth's crust, which is above the outer core.
Granite and basalt are made when magma cools. Granite forms from slow-cooling magma underneath the Earth's surface, while basalt forms from rapidly-cooling magma on the surface.
Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.
Both granite ans basalt are types of igneous rock.

The core of Earth is mad of iron and nickel. The crust, not the core, is made largely of iron and basalt.

Ancient Egyptian obelisks are made of basalt or granite, but the Egyptians favored granite.
The Earth's outermost layer where basalt and granite are found is called the crust. Basalt is more common in the oceanic crust, while granite is more prevalent in the continental crust.
silicate rocks, such as granite, gneiss, basalt, and shale.
No. Granite and basalt have different compositions and form under different circumstances.
Granite - coarse grained. Basalt - fine grained.
