What is GRANITE ?

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock known for its coarse grained texture and large #crystal forming varieties. The Sierra Nevada mountains are a great example of a mix of granite and granite-like igneous rocks, aka as a batholith. There are several other rocks that are sometimes simply called granite, but display variation on the scale of coarseness or mineral composition, and these include rocks like Syenite, Monzonite, and Granodiorite.
