Information

You are surrounded by granite outcrops; the surface of an exposed granite batholith. Notice that the granite boulders lie in layers and that they are rounded and cracked. The series of diagrams show how a buried batholith becomes exposed over time.
Its surface cracks in the process, forming blocks which erode into rounded boulders such as those around you and Castle Rock in front of you.
