Granite's Formation. Inside the Earth, below what is known as the mantle layer, is a layer of molten rock formed by radioactive elements that occur naturally as the ground breaks down and decays. The decaying material releases a significant amount of heat which melts the rocks around it. Plates under the Earth move and the heat builds up ...

These actions alone can already scar environments and disrupt local ecology, however, processing these deposits also creates issues.
