4. Where are granite rocks in the UK found? Granite rocks in the UK are found to the north and west of the Tees-Exe line. Igneous outcrops in red and dark-pink In SW England, granite gives flat topped moorland plateaus with many rock outcrops, sometimes forming rock blocks called ‘Tors’ In Scotland there are the granite peaks of the Grampians. They are rocky and frost shattered. Where land is flat it is wet and boggy.

5. How are granite rocks formed? - Granite is an igneous rock, normally found deep in the earth's crust and made of crystals formed from the cooling of molten magma. - It is sometimes exposed at the surface (extrusive) where the sedimentary rock, such as sandstone, has been eroded away. - However, it can be formed by magma cooling underground after being intruded into other rocks before reaching the surface.

10. Economic uses Land uses Granite used for building (it’s a very hard rock and lasts for a long time) Also used for headstones in cemetaries Granite + chemical weathering = china clay China clay used for pottery, and as an ingredient in toothpaste, paper, paint, and face creme Uplands: Very wet, marshy, bogs Acidic infertile soils Used for grazing sheep, horses Lowlands: used for pasture land for grazing cows Often find woodland More fertile land
