9. When you think of a lobster, you might think of a bright red creature. Most lobsters are a brown to olive-green color in the wild, with only a reddish tinge. Lobsters have a carotenoid pigment called astaxanthin in their shell, which provides a red coloring.
Is granite homogeneous or heterogeneous substance? Granite is a heterogeneous substance. This is due to the fact that it does not appear to be consistently made of one material.
A granite containing both muscovite and biotite micas is called a binary granite. The average density is 2.75 g/cm3 with a range of 1.74 to 2.80. The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock. Granite occurs as relatively small, less than 100 km2 stock-like masses and as large batholiths often associated with orogenic mountain ranges and is frequently of great extent.
