The citadel of Yapahuwa lying midway between Kurunagala and Anuradhapura was built around a huge granite rock rising abruptly almost a hundred meters above the surrounding lowlands.

Ben Loyal is composed chiefly of granite, specifically syenite, and has a distinctive shape due to the four rocky peaks, the highest of which is called An Caisteal.

They are of a tumulus form of weathered granite outcrop.

The Bounty Islands (Māori: Moutere Hauriri; "Island of angry wind") are a small group of uninhabited granite islets and numerous rocks, with a combined area of around 50 ha (120 acres) in the South Pacific Ocean.

The archipelago of islands made up of pink Stony Creek granite bedrock were once the tops of hills prior to the last ice age.

Geologically, Scratch My Arse Rock is a plateau and composed of granite.

The mountain is composed of granite.

The Kent Group are a grouping of six granite islands located in Bass Strait, north-west of the Furneaux Group in Tasmania, Australia.

Like Yosemite, hikers and rock climbers from around the world come for the valley's several 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) granite walls.

Rock types in the mountains are typically granites and metamorphic schists, and some are highly sheared near to fault zones.

Bornhardts are commonly composed of igneous rocks, often granites, but examples of gneiss, quartzite and arkose bornhardts exist.

A separate intrusion of igneous rock, the Taft Granite, forms the uppermost portions of the cliff face.

Granite domes are domical hills composed of granite with bare rock exposed over most of the surface.

The core of Huascarán, like much of the Cordillera Blanca, consists of Cenozoic-age granite.

Its composition is of metamorphic rock and intrusive granites.

All the islands of Scilly are all composed of granite rock of Early Permian age, an exposed part of the Cornubian batholith.

Kinmen, much like the surrounding Chinese mainland, is predominantly composed of Cretaceous aged granite, with lesser amounts of Eocene-Oligocene sandstone, Miocene basalt and Pleistocene-Holocene conglomerate.

The islands are predominantly composed of Jurassic and Cretaceous intrusive (emplaced ≈160 Ma, ≈130 Ma and ≈94 Ma) granite and diabase.

The region's geology is primarily granites and gneisses, and glacial tills dot the bedrock landscape, with loose gravel covering the ground.

It sits on a horst of Precambrian granite and gneiss overlain by Cretaceous to Quaternary sediments.

As these glaciers flowed down its slopes, they scoured the surface of Mount Kinabalu in the process and creating the 1,800-metre-deep (5,900 ft) Low's Gully (named after Hugh Low) on its north side. Its granitic composition and the glacial formative processes are readily apparent when viewing its craggy, rocky peaks.

It consists of inselberg diorites and granites, which are igneous rocks, i.e., formed from cooling magma.

The massive and unworn character of the chain comes from its abundance of granite, which is particularly resistant to erosion, as well as weak glacial development.

The belts are characterized by sedimentary basins and passive continental margins containing granite intrusions.

There are also Old Red Sandstone deposits and granite intrusions.

They were formed during the last phase of the glacial period and consist predominantly of granite.

The islands are composed of Tertiary igneous formations of granites and gabbro, heavily weathered by the elements.

Embedded in the granite are xenoliths or pieces of foreign rocks entrained in the magma. The granite intruded into the metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont region during the last stages of the Alleghenian Orogeny, which was the time when North America and North Africa collided.

The predominant composition of these islands and seamounts is intrusive granitoids, a type of igneous rock.

The Graafwater rocks rest on the basement consisting of Cape Granite.

The mountain consists of foliated granite of Proterozoic age, with the foliation (layered structure of the rock) oriented almost vertically, creating natural weakness zones that have facilitated erosion processes.

The initial step in the development of Hyden Rock was the subsurface alteration by weathering of granite bedrock beneath a lateritised land surface during the Cretaceous Period between 100 and 130 million years ago.
