Zillow chief executive Spencer Rascoff answered that theyâre âa good starting pointâ but that nationwide Zestimates have a âmedian error rateâ of about 8 percent. Whoa. That sounds high. On a $500,000 house, that would be a $40,000 disparity â a lot of money on the table â and could create problems.
A batholith (from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock) is a large emplacement of igneous intrusive (also called plutonic) rock that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust. batholith is an exposed area of (mostly) continuous plutonic rock that covers an area larger than 100 square kilometers (40 square miles). Areas smaller than 100 square kilometers are called stocks.
Granite is an igneous rock composed of mostly two minerals: quartz and feldspar. It is an intrusive rock, meaning that it crystallized from magma that cooled far below the earth's surface.Its name is derived from the Latin word 'granum', which means 'grain', a reference to the easily-seen minerals in the rock.ranite contains mostly quartz and orthoclase feldspar; other minerals make up less than half of the rock. The magma that crystallizes into granite likely forms in the upper mantle or lower lithosphere, where other rocks partially melt. Granite is used in buildings and some granite is mined for rare elements.
