Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A large, irregular magma chamber is typically associated with the formation of a batholith, which is a large intrusive igneous rock body that forms deep in the Earth's crust. Laccoliths are smaller, dome-shaped intrusions that push up overlying rock layers, sills are tabular intrusions that form parallel to rock layers, dikes are tabular intrusions that cut across rock layers, and stocks are smaller, irregularly-shaped bodies of intrusive igneous rock.
