Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. It forms when magma from the earth's mantle forces its way up into the crust. Being intrusive means it doesn't reach the surface but remains enclosed in other rocks. This causes it to cool more slowly giving it larger crystal size. Erosion of the rock above and around it exposes it to the surface.
