KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Granite is an igneous rock. Sedimentary rock is formed by the deposition of material, through weathering and different processes that cause mineral or organic particles to settle and accumulate. All types of marble, but also rock types like travertine und onyx, are sedimentary and contain fossils.

Detailed explanation-2: -Granite. Granite is an igneous rock composed of mostly two minerals: quartz and feldspar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Granite forms from solidified silicic magma within the Earth’s crust. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive rocks form from molten material (magma) that flows and solidifies underground, where magma cools slowly. Eventually, the overlying rocks are removed, exposing the granite.

Detailed explanation-5: -Granite is by far the most abundant plutonic rock present on the Earth’s crust, they contain feldspar and quartz and they are a type of igneous rocks. They are formed due to magma cooling down(silicate melt) deep under the surface of the earth. Since they are igneous they are not sedimentary.
