Sendra Granite Sendra Granite Sendra Granite is a plutonic igneous rock population which is part of Delhi supergroup of meta-sedimentary rocks located along NH-8 in Rajasthan, India. It has undergone years of sculpting by wind and air. It was declared as a Geoheritage Site by the Geological Survey of India in 1977. It is located at a Latitude of -26° 05´ 3.6" N and a Longitude of -74° 13´ 17.8" E and is at a height of 429.6 ± 5.7 m above sea level. Sendra Granite is located in the Pali district of Rajasthan in the north-west of India. The Sendra Granite
Exfoliating granite a couple hundred feet thick, separates from the underlying granite along an expansion joint to form a shell. As this continues, several concentric shells may form to depths of feet or more. Concentric slabs/shells of rock begin to break loose, onion-like layers subparallel to the exterior called exfoliating, sheet jointing, or fractures. As the granite expands the outer, most shells become susceptible to weathering by water pressure, freeze/thaw cycles, and functioning vegetation is a process called physical weathering. The sheets of granite are large enough to shave off sharp edges on the granite’s surface creating a dome shape. The overall
