Question

Pick the wrong statement about granitization.

(a) It is a set of processes rather than a single step

(b) It involves already existing sedimentary and other rocks

(c) It involves magmatic stage

(d) It doesn’t actually require magmatic stage

I had been asked this question in an internship interview.

This key question is from Forms of Igneous Rocks topic in chapter The Study of Rocks of Engineering Geology

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) It involves magmatic stage

The best explanation: Granitization may be broadly described as a set of processes by which already existing sedimentary and other rocks are changed into granit-like without actually passing through a magmatic stage.
