by Katie C. Granite was once lava. The lava would seep through cracks in the earth's crust. When a volacno erupted, that lava came out onto the earth's surface. When lava cooled, it formed granite. New Hampshire is well known for its granite. New Hampshire is called the "Granite State" because of its quantity of granite. New Hampshire has many granite quarries. The State House in Concord is made from the granite from a nearby quarry. In the olden days, people used to go find granite boulders and chip off pieces from the boulder. Granite makes great fence posts, front door steps, cemetary markers, and house foundations. |
