What is a pollutant that originates from groundwater dissolution in granitic terrains?
A common pollutant that originates from groundwater dissolution in granitic terrains is arsenic. In these geological formations, natural processes can mobilize arsenic from minerals, leading to its concentration in groundwater. This can pose significant health risks when contaminated water is used for drinking or irrigation, affecting both human health and ecosystems. Monitoring and remediation efforts are essential to manage arsenic levels in affected areas.
What else can I help you with?
What is material with granitic composition that erupts at Earth's surface?
Material with a granitic composition that erupts at the surface is called rhyolite.
Why are granitic igneous rocks light in color?
granitic igneous rocks are light colored because of a lower density than basaltic rocks
What does granitic magma contain a lot of?
Silica.
At what depth does granitic magma form?
Granitic magma forms at relatively shallow depths, typically between 1 and 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. This type of magma is formed through the partial melting of continental crust, which is composed mainly of granitic rocks.
What geological processes are implied if a granitic body of rock is found exposed at the surface?
All processes creating the granitic intrusion would be implied: plate tectonics, subduction, melting, buoyancy of magma, cooling of magma. In addition to these processes, you could add uplift, weathering, and erosion.
What type of magma is closer to intrusive rocks?
magma can be classified into two,magma of granitic composition(originates from lower continental crust) and magma of basaltic composition (which originates from upper mantle).Both can form intrusive rocks.
Is granitic magma dark or light?
granitic is light, basaltic is dark.
Is syenite granitic?
Syenite is not granitic. Quartz is one of the main minerals found in granitic rock. Syenite contains little or no quartz, but otherwise has the same general composition as granite.
What is material with granitic composition that erupts at Earth's surface?
Material with a granitic composition that erupts at the surface is called rhyolite.
What color is granitic magma?
PURPLE
What has the author Mel Gascoyne written?

Why are granitic igneous rocks light in color?
granitic igneous rocks are light colored because of a lower density than basaltic rocks
What does granitic magma contain a lot of?
Silica.
Is Pumis granitic?
no. pumice is a volcanic rock (igneous)
Is granitic magma very silica-rich.?
Yes
At what depth does granitic magma form?
Granitic magma forms at relatively shallow depths, typically between 1 and 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. This type of magma is formed through the partial melting of continental crust, which is composed mainly of granitic rocks.
Why does granitic magma cause explosive eruptions?
Granitic magma is highly viscous (resists flow). This high viscosity results in the entrapment and buildup of gases which create explosive eruptions.
