What pluton is discordant?
plutons that thin in one direction as compared with other two dimensions.common ones are dykes.
What is a tabular concordant pluton?
A tabular concordant pluton is a sill.A Sill is a flat concordant pluton. And a tabular means flat, like a table or tablet. Thus a sill is a tabular concordant pluton.In fact a the wikipedia article for "sill (geology)", as of the 01:33, 19 February 2009 update by Vsmith, read " a sill is a tabular pluton that has intruded between older layers of sedimentary rock, beds of volcanic lava or tuff, or even along the direction of foliation in metamorphic rock." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sill_(geology)
What is a tabular concordant intrusive structure?
A tabular concordant intrusive structure refers to a type of igneous intrusion where the orientation of the intrusive body is parallel to the existing layering or structures in the surrounding rock. This results in the intrusion appearing as a tabular or sheet-like feature that runs parallel to the rock layers. The intrusive body is typically discordant to the sedimentary or metamorphic layers but its orientation is concordant.
What is irregularly shaped pluton that is similar to batholith but smaller?
A stock is an irregularly shaped pluton that is smaller than a batholith. It is typically less than 40 square miles in area and can be discordant with surrounding rock formations. Stocks are often found in mountainous regions where they have intruded into the crust.
An igneous intrusion that cuts across rock layers is called a?
A discordant intrusion is known as a dyke. A larger intrusion may also be a pluton or batholith, which both also cut across rock strata. A sill is an intrusion which is concordant, and goes between the strata. This does not necessarily mean that it is horizontal.
What is the term for a tabular igneous pluton that occurs in an orientation that is discordant with the bedding surfaces of adjacent sedimentary rocks?
The term for a tabular igneous pluton that is oriented discordantly to the bedding surfaces of adjacent sedimentary rocks is called a "dike." Dikes are typically vertical or steeply inclined and cut across pre-existing rock layers, contrasting with sills, which are parallel to the bedding.
Which of the following are a pluton?
dike
How would you classify an igneous intrusion that is tabular and discordant?
An igneous intrusion that is tabular and discordant is classified as a dyke. Dykes are vertical or steeply inclined sheets of magma that cut across the existing rock layers, indicating that they intruded after the formation of those layers. This discordant nature contrasts with sills, which are tabular intrusions that parallel the bedding of the surrounding rock.

Are sills tabular discordant bodies that are produced when magma is injected into fractures?
Yes, sills are tabular discordant bodies formed when magma intrudes into pre-existing fractures and solidifies between layers of existing rock. They are characterized by their flat, parallel orientation with the surrounding rock layers.
What is a tabular concordant intrusive structure?
