What is the density of granite?
The granite language is the Latin granum, meaning grain or grain. Because granite is a deep diagenetic, often able to form a well-developed, visually discernible mineral particles, hence the name. Granite is not easy to weathering, beautiful color, the appearance of color can be maintained for more than a century, because of its high hardness, wear resistance, in addition to the use of high-level architectural decoration works, hall floor, or open-air carving of the preferred material.
Granite (Granite), the main component of the continental crust, is a kind of magma in the surface below the formation of the formation of igneous rocks, the main component is feldspar and quartz.
Granite density: 2790-3070 kg / m3. The most densely charged ferrosilicate minerals are formed at the highest magmatic temperature; minerals with smaller densities, such as feldspar and quartz, are formed at the later stages of cooling. Minerals formed in lava can usually grow without any restraint and have a well-developed crystal form.
