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.
How do you uplift and erosion help to form batholith?
by exposing a large body of igneous rock to the surface

What is the most massive form of igneous intrusion is?
Batholith
What is true about all plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
What is the largest body called?
A batholith is a group of intrusive igneous plutons.
Which step is part of the formation of a batholith?
Many plutons clump together as they rise through the crust.
What are large and dome-shaped intrusive bodies?
The largest igneous intrusive body is the batholith. Batholiths are enormous, sometimes more than 100 km squared in size, and often feed volcanoes.
What types of classifications are used for plutons?
Plutons can be classified according to size and shape. A dyke is a sheet pluton that cuts across existing rock formations, a sill has a tabular form that intrudes between two existing rock formations, a batholith is a large irregular shaped emplacement. Plutons can also be classified based on the type of rock composition. Many plutons are formed from either granite, granodiorite, quartz diorite, or monzonite.

What is the difference between Laccolith and Batholith?
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.
Can Plutons be studied on Earth's surface as they form?
yes
