Question

Granite is what type of igneous rock?

Answer 1

Intrusive felsic rock

Explanation:

Granites are magmas that cool inside the Earth and do not break through to the surface. Consequently, they form crystals that cool slowly and so tend to be large enough to see with the naked eye. They are also "felsic" in composition, meaning that they have a lot of quartz and feldspars in them.

Granites can come in a wide variety of colours, but are usually fairly light in color. They are often used for kitchen countertops, as building stones and monuments.
