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.
