Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A batholith is a large, composite intrusive igneous body that covers hundreds of square kilometers. It is typically made up of multiple plutons that have merged together over time. A dike is a tabular intrusive igneous body that cuts across existing rock layers, while a sill is a tabular intrusive igneous body that is parallel to existing rock layers. However, these are typically much smaller than a batholith and do not cover as large of an area.
