Tonalite Formation

Tonalite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Tonalite Uses and the Tonalite 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 Tonalite is explained below:

• When alkali feldspar is extracted from granite, it changes to granitoid and later, it becomes tonalite with quartz as major mineral.
