单词 batholith
释义
batholith

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Large (more than 100 km2) igneous intrusion, which may comprise several plutons amalgamated at depth. Most batholiths are granitic in composition and their genesis is linked with plate tectonics. Generally, batholiths cut across country rocks and therefore are discordant in nature.


Geography
  • A massive, frequently discordant, intrusion of coarsely textured plutonic rocks, at least 100 km2 in area and extending 20–30 km down into the layer of magma, which may be composed of several plutons.
