Answer:

1-A: - Granite

2-E: - Boulder

Step-by-step explanation:

- Granite is a light-colored plutonic rock found throughout the continental crust, most commonly in mountainous areas.

- The difference between a rock and a boulder can be explained in terms of size and detachment. A rock is defined by geologists as an aggregate of minerals. A boulder is a type of rock, specifically a large detached one. All boulders are rocks, but not all rocks are boulders.

I'm sorry if this is wrong but after doing some research for this I only found that granite and large boulders are considered rocks. And again I'm sorry if this is wrong, and sorry that this response is late.,.

Edit: Can you tell me if the answers is wrong? you don't have to tho.
