GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Granite is a light-colored igneous rock. It is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with a little amount of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most clasts larger than sand size (greater than 2 millimeters) are actual fragments of rock, and commonly these might be fine-grained rock like basalt or andesite, or if they are bigger, coarse-grained rock like granite or gneiss. Sedimentary rocks that are made up of “clasts” are called clastic sedimentary rocks.

Detailed explanation-3: -It can be exhumed (brought toward the surface through erosion of the rock layers above and uplift through faulting). Once the granite is exposed it is subject to weathering and erosion, linking to the sedimentary part of the rock cycle.
