What is the most massive form of igneous intrusion is?
Batholith
When there is an igneous intrusion and a fault line which one is younger?
That depends! If the fault line cross cuts the igneous intrusion causing the intrusion to be displaced on either side of the fault and forming a broken mass of rock within the intrusion known as a fault breccia then the fault is younger than the intrusions, as the intrusion must have already existed for the fault to cause it's displacement. If on the other hand the igneous intrusion cross cuts the fault and is un-deformed then it is probable that it is younger than the fault.
Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
a dome mountain is formed
What is the igneous intrusion similar to but larger than a laccolith?
Bbljt ut
What are the relative ages of igneous intrusion and overlying sedimentary rock layers that dome upward?
The intrusion is younger than the overlying sedimentary rock.
What is a large igneous intrusion called?
Batholith is the name for a huge igneous intrusion.
What do you call the layering in igneous rocks?
"layering" As in "layered" igneous intrusion.
How does the age of a rock layer compare with an igneous intrusion that is through it or an igneous rock extrusion above it?
If it is above it, the rock layer came after the intrusion. if the intrusion went through the rock layer is older because they layer had to be there in order for the intrusion to go through.
What kind of a rock is an intrusion made of?
igneous rock
What is the most massive form of igneous intrusion is?
Batholith
Why are the rocks in a large igneous intrusion coaser grained than the rocks in a small igneous intrusion at the same depth?
The minerals had longer to form from the hot magma than did the minerals in the small intrusion, which would have cooled much faster.

How does the age of an igneous extrusion compare with the rock into which it was extruded?
An igneous intrusion is younger than the rock into which it intruded.
Where is igneous rock in magma intrusion into sedimentary rock?
In dikes and sills.
What is the largest igneous intrusive body?
The largest type of intrusion is the pluton.
What is an antonym for batholith?
The antonym for batholith is small igneous intrusion or dyke.
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
