5 Formation
5.1 Formation
Charnockite is an intrusive igneous rock which is very hard and is formed due to weathering of existing rocks.
Turbidite is a type of sedimentary rock formed when a river carries or transports pieces of broken rock as it flows. These particles then settle down and are subjected to high temperature and pressures hence forming Turbidite.
