Description
Granite rocks are igneous rocks, which were
formed by slowly cooling pockets of magma that were trapped beneath
the earth's surface. Granite is used for long lasting monuments
and for trim and decoration on buildings. Igneous rocks are called
fire rocks and are formed either underground or aboveground. Underground,
they are formed when the melted rock, called magma, deep within
the earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of
magma cool slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the
magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above
the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava
cools above ground.
