Syenite Formation
Syenite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Syenite Uses and the Syenite Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Syenite is explained below:
- Syenites are formed due to alkaline igneous activities and are generally formed in thick continental crustal areas or in Cordilleran subduction zones.
