The evolution of H. floresiensis is an example of island dwarfism.
Explanation:
H. floresiensis is a species of hominid. It differs significantly than the other hominid species in size though, as it appears to be a dwarfed version of its ancestors and close relatives. Its alleged ancestor is literary twice taller, which brings in the question as to what has triggered such an evolutionary adaptation.
This hominid species lived only on a relatively small island, in isolation. The resources are very limited, and the climate is warm and humid all year around. As seen in many species of animals, when individuals get into such an environment, they tend to experience either island dwarfism, or island gigantism. The island dwarfism tends to be common among large and medium sized species, while the island gigantism tends to be more common among the small species.
When the ancestors of H. floresiensis ended up in this environment, it was advantageous for them to smaller. The reason for that is that smaller bodies require less nutrition, and are also producing less heat.

The answer is going to be false. hope that helped
Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock
Explanation:
An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.
Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.
A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.
This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.
Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.
Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.
