Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Batholiths are the most massive form of igneous intrusion, typically covering a surface area of at least 100 square kilometers and extending to depths of several kilometers. Stocks, sills, and laccoliths are smaller in size and do not reach the same scale as batholiths. Calderas, on the other hand, are associated with volcanic activity and are formed by the collapse of a volcano after an eruption.
