At a granular level‚ rocks are composed of grains of minerals‚ which‚ in turn‚ are homogeneous solids formed from a chemical compound that is arranged in an orderly manner. The aggregate minerals forming the rock are held together by chemical bonds. The types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth’s crust. This material forms crystals with other

which occurred in the Cenozoic Era. During this time‚ magma began to cool beneath Earth’s surface to form an igneous pluton made predominantly of granite. Throughout this time frame‚ this large mass‚ otherwise known as a batholith‚ was uplifted through Earth’s surface to the standing height that it is today. Due to Denali being composed primarily of granite‚ it has been able to withstand the forces of erosion. This is even more impressive considering the fact that 75% of the mountain is covered by snow

development of the arts long after the empire came to an end. Its stylistic hallmark is the ornate pillared Kalyanamantapa (marriage hall)‚ Vasanthamantapa (open pillared halls) and the Rayagopura (tower).
