Is it true that a batholith is a mass of rock that formed when a large body of magma cooled inside earths crust?

Yes, that is correct. A batholith is a large mass of intrusive igneous rock that forms from the solidification of magma deep beneath the Earth's surface. As the magma cools and solidifies over time, it creates a massive body of rock that can be exposed through erosion.


What boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed?

A divergent boundary is formed when magma rises to the surface and new crust is formed. This process occurs at mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to fill the gap and solidify into new oceanic crust.


What is the new oceanic crust formed by?

Magma leaking in from the mantle.
