Mount Rushmore National Memorial is located along the northeast edge of what is known as the Harney Peak Granite Batholith in the Black Hills of South Dakota. A batholith is a geologic feature that formed by the cooling of a large igneous body of magma below the earth's surface; if a similar igneous body reaches the earth's surface, it would form a volcanic feature such as a lava flow. The Black Hills magma was emplaced into the older "host" mica schist rocks during Precambrian time, approximately 1.7 billion years ago!

Workers who seal cracks in the rocks at Mount Rushmore protect it from physical weathering caused by water infiltration and freezing and thawing cycles. By sealing the cracks, they prevent water from seeping into the rocks, which can weaken and cause them to break apart over time.

Builders chose granite for Mount Rushmore for its durability and resistance to erosion, making it a suitable material for a large-scale monument. Granite's natural color and texture also provided a striking backdrop for the sculpted faces of the presidents.

I don't know what age you are, but you can make it out of paper/glue (paper mache.) Take strips of paper and use slightly water-down glue you can get at any craft shop (the white glue that dries clear.) Let harden, and when shaped and finish then use craft paints to give it a more realistic look. Go onto the Internet and look up a picture of Mount Rushmore so you can get as much detail into your project as possible.
