What is a tabular discordant pluton?

A tabular discordant pluton is a large igneous intrusion that cuts across existing rock layers in a horizontal or nearly horizontal orientation. This type of pluton is also known as a sheet intrusion due to its tabular shape and discordant nature where it disrupts the surrounding rock layers. Tabular discordant plutons are typically formed when magma is injected into the Earth's crust and spreads laterally to create a flat or sheet-like body of intrusive rock.


What is the solid form of magma body?
