    Granite is an igneous rock, which means it formed from magma, or melted rock. It forms deep inside the Earth under a mountain or volcano when melted rock cools or crystallizes into solid rock. Over time, wind, ice, and water wear away at the mountain or volcano above it, and the granite is exposed to the surface.

  9. Deccan Plateau - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Plateau

    The Deccan Traps in the north west were formed by multiple layers of igneous rocks laid down by basaltic lava flows following a massive volcanic eruption that occurred during the end of the cretaceous period (66 mya). The underlying bed consists of granite and sedimentary rocks formed during the precambrian era and the formation of Gondwana.
