Batholith - Wikipedia
网页A batholith is formed when many plutons converge to form a huge expanse of granitic rock. Some batholiths are mammoth, paralleling past and present subduction zones and other heat sources for hundreds of kilometers in continental crust.
Batholith | Igneous Rock, Plutonic, Intrusive | Britannica
网页Batholith, large body of igneous rock formed beneath the Earth’s surface by the intrusion and solidification of magma. It is commonly composed of coarse-grained rocks (e.g., granite or granodiorite) with a surface exposure of 100 square km (40 square miles) or larger. A batholith has an irregular.
What Is A Batholith? - WorldAtlas
网页2018年6月2日 — A batholith is a giant mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms when magma collects and cools deep in the earth’s crust without being exposed to the surface. A batholith is usually larger than 40 square miles. The main composition of …

网页2015年9月7日 — Definition: Despite sounding like something out of Harry Potter, a batholith is a type of igneous rock that forms when magma rises into the earth’s crust, but does not erupt onto the surface.
Batholith - Encyclopedia.com
网页2018年6月8日 — Batholiths are large bodies of intrusive igneous rock. Formed when magma cools and crystallizes beneath Earth's surface, batholiths are the largest type of pluton. By definition, a batholith must cover at least 39 mi 2 (100 km 2), although most are even larger. Many batholiths cover hundreds to thousands of square miles.
3.5: Intrusive Igneous Bodies - Geosciences LibreTexts
网页2024年4月24日 — Large irregular-shaped plutons are called either stocks or batholiths. The distinction between the two is made on the basis of the area that is exposed at the surface: if the body has an exposed surface area greater than 100 square kilometers (km 2), then it’s a batholith; smaller than 100 km 2 and it’s a stock.

网页A batholith is a large, deep-seated mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms when magma cools and solidifies below the Earth's surface. Batholiths are often composed of coarse-grained granite and can cover an area of over 100 square kilometers, making them some of the largest plutonic features on Earth.

网页2017年4月1日 — The Idaho batholith (sensu lato) formed as a result of continuous magmatism lasting ∼60 m.y. and was marked by a series of magmatic phases, each with distinct composition, inferred tectonic regime, and geographic locus. In the following we outline these five phases of batholith development.

网页Batholith was first used by Suess (1901) to describe a “stock”- or “shield”-shaped igneous mass either intruded into country rock, or formed by the fusion of older basement.
