El Capitan in Yosemite
A piece of granite can be changed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock, and then to a metamorphic rock as it gets buried deeper within the Earth's crust.
As it turns out, most of the ocean floor is basalt, and most of the continents are granite.
what is it
Basically, all intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals. Because they are intrusive, they take a long time to cool down, and so there is a lot of time for crystal growth. That said, the biggest categories of intrusive igneous rocks are: Peridotite (ultramafic) Gabbro (mafic) Diorite (Intermediate) Granite (silicic/felsic) Granite is the most common one in the continental crust.
No El capitan is in Yosemite. It is the largest exposed piece of granite in the world.
The biggest rocks are unfractured granite batholiths.
To get it from the mine, you use a pickaxe. To cut it into smaller pieces, you use a chisel on a larger piece of granite. Or, if you have a chisel in your toolbelt, just click on the piece of granite.
Granite already is an igneous rock.

There are granite deposits underground spread out, and together it would be bigger.
Rhyolite is most similar to granite mineralogically.

Granite. Most of the crust is composed of granite. Feldspar is the most common mineral in the earth's crust.Silicon, (Si) and Alluminium, (Al).
The density of a piece of granite with a volume of 340 cm and mass of 918 g would be 1,400 grams. This is a math problem.
