Granites are coarse‐grained igneous intrusive rocks, which, although present in most tectonic settings, are most characteristic of continental crust. While basalts are the most abundant volcanic rocks, granites are the most abundant intrusive rocks. On the scale of the Solar System, while basalts are ubiquitous, granites seem to be restricted to the ...

Science, 1967
If it shall be demanded, then, when a man begins to have any ideas? I think the true answer is, when he first has any sensation. For since there appear not to be any ideas in the mind before the senses have conveyed any in, I conceive that ideas in the understanding are coeval with sensation. . . .

The geochemistry of the Sorvik granite—a TIB-1 granite
GFF, 2008The Sorvik granite occurs as rounded massifs in the Revsund granite in central Sweden. The rock is medium-grained with rounded quartz crystals ('drop quartz') and occasional, sometimes albiterimmed megacrysts of K-feldspar. It is a faintly peraluminous 1-type granite with some A-type affinities showing a limited chemical variation.

There can have been few occasions in the past when the President of the Geological Society of London—the mother of all geological societies—has been able to accept the hospitality of that most splendid of daughters, The Geological Society of America. I come bearing most hearty greetings and good wishes from my Society to yours.

On the Form of Granitic Rocks, and the Structure of Granite
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London[The paper read by M. Von Buch on this occasion involves two subjects, namely, an expression of opinion and a record of observations concerning the structure of granitic masses, affording an explanation of the frequently described phenomenon of stratification in granite, and an account of a journey into Sweden, in which he pursued other investigations ...

This chapter discusses how granite is the geologic backbone of the Sierra Nevada. The discovery of photosynthesis by primitive microorganisms had consequences: it transformed Earth's early atmosphere into an oxygenated, caustic pall that could weather rocks into dust with unprecedented efficiency. Dust is where granite begins.

ABSTRACT Granites are important components of the Earth's continental crust and represent the net effect of thermochemical processes that operate during partial melting, magma extraction, ascent, emplacement and crystallization. Compositional and isotopic variations in granites arise from source heterogeneities, mixing in the source, and
