Granite is an igneous rock, meaning that it is formed by the solidification of molten rock. It is distinguished from other igneous rocks by its chemical composition, and by a relatively large crystal size. Since a very low cooling is necessary to produce large crystals, granite is always an intrusive formation.(This means that the cooling occurs underground. Molten rock which reaches the surface of the Earth will cool much too quickly to produce a similar texture.) 3, record 4, English, - Bramsche%20intrusive%20formation

[Enfouissement à faible profondeur]. Ce stockage est réalisé soit sur des aires aménagées, soit dans des tranchées bétonnées. [...] Les tranchées bétonnées sont réalisées en partant d'une fosse creusée dans le sol, dans laquelle est réalisé un radier. On élève des parois en béton le long de la fosse, constituant ainsi des cases dans lesquelles sont déposés les déchets après injection d'un coulis de ciment, on obtient un monolithe que l'on recouvre par une couche bitumineuse.

(...) the metal deposits are concentrated, during the formation of a granitic rock, in inverse ratio to the amounts in which they can be incorporated in the ordinary minerals of the granite. The metallic ions, thus concentrated, have been "rejected", as it were, by the granite. This would depend particularly on the ionic radii and charges. Offhand these points of view could explain the singular concentrations of lead, zinc and copper, metals rare in the Earth's crust with respect to its average chemical composition, but nevertheless accumulated in enormous tonnages in some perigranitic deposits. 1, record 13, English, - theory%20of%20Sullivan%20and%20Guimaraes

D'après [Sullivan et Guimaraes] les gîtes métallifères sont concentrés pendant la formation d'une roche granitique en raison inverse de l'ampleur avec laquelle ils peuvent être incorporés dans les minéraux ordinaires du granite. Les ions métalliques ainsi concentrés ont été "refusés" pour ainsi dire par le granite. Ceci dépendrait particulièrement des rayons et charges ioniques. L'apparition de micro-inclusions autonomes d'oxydes ou de sulfures métalliques dans les granites s'accorde avec cette vue (magnétite, ilménite, pyrite, uraninite, etc.). 1, record 13, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20de%20Sullivan%20et%20de%20Guimaraes
