- The word granite comes from the Latin granum, grain, because the crystals in it look like grains.
- Granite holds small amounts of uranium and thorium, so it is slightly more radioactive than most rocks.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
