Most common of all rocks is Granite: . Granite . is a light-colored . igneous rock.  with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye.  It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth’s surface.  Granite is composed mainly of quartz and  feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.   This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock.

A stream carves a channel through soil rock by removing a few small particles of rock at a time. The stream water slows down when it enters a pond, allowing the rock particles to settle at the bottom of the pond. Pressure combines these particles into a solid rock. What is the new rock called?.
