A batholith is comprised of numerous plutons that have collected in the same region.
Pluton: An irregular, blob-like igneous intrusion that ranges from tens of meters to tens of kilometers in size.
Batholith: A huge, deep igneous intrusion that is several hundred km long and 100 km wide. It is comprised of numerous plutons that have collected in the same region.

∙ 14y agoLaccolith's are "blister-like" sills that are found below a volcano. In other words it is like a little mountain of magma below a volcano. A batholith is huge pool of magma with no visible bottom that is located below a laccolith.

∙ 9y agoA pluton refers to an intrusion of igneous rock formed on the subsurface of the Earth. A batholith, meanwhile, is a type of pluton with an exposure area of at least 40 square miles.

What is larger sill dike laccolith or batholith?
The Batholith would be the larger feature.
What is the difference between a sill and a laccolith?
Laccoilith forms as an intrusive structure and an Eroding Laccolith has been exposed to the Earth's surface by erosion of the rock layers above it.
What type of rock is a laccolith?
A laccolith is an igneous intrusion that has been forced between two sedimentary rock strata creating a lens.
Which one of these pushes the overlying rock into a dome shape Batholith or laccolith?
A laccolith pushes the overlying rock into a dome shape. It is a type of intrusive igneous rock formation that is formed when magma pushes its way into the layers of overlying rock but does not reach the surface. The pressure causes the rock layers above to uplift and form a dome-like structure. Batholiths, on the other hand, are large underground bodies of igneous rock that can cover an area of several hundred square kilometers but do not typically create a dome shape.
What does magma pushed into a thick sill form?
magma pushed into a thick sill can form what
What is larger sill dike laccolith or batholith?

What are the 4 intrusive igneous features?
dike, sill, laccolith, and batholith :)
What are the types of pluton?
They include batholith, lopolith, sill, phacolith, laccolith and volcanic neck.

What is the difference between a dike and a batholith?
Dikes ; tubular in shape and may be only a few centimeters wide. Batholith ; large plutons that cover an area of an area of atleast 100 km squared when they are exposed on earths surface.

Do laccolith features occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
No. A laccolith is an intrusive feature.
What is an igneous intrusion between two sedimentary rock layers?
A laccolith is an igneous formation between two sedimentary layers
What is magma squeezed into a horizontally between rock layers?
It's sill or batholith.
Are the granite domes in Yosemite National Park a batholith or a sill?
