How is Granite different from marble?

Granite is denser as compared to marble because is formed within the core of the earth while marble is formed by the sedimentation under the seabed. Although they both solidify after years, they contain different types of minerals that make them respond differently to different types of household cleaners and chemicals. Although they are both from the same source- the earth, they have clear differences. Granite is formed under very high temperatures causing it to crystallize into resistant and hard natural stone while marble is formed from the solidification of materials such as animal skeletons, plant silt and sediments that are formed under the sea bed. The main component of marble is calcium and this means that the surfaces can be affected by acidic products such as beverages with citrus and vinegar.
