GranitesDioritesGabbrosPegmatitesDykesSillsLayered Igneous intrusions
What is the largest of all igneous intrusions?
The largest of all igneous intrusions is called a batholith. Batholiths are formed by the massive invasion of hot magma into country rock.
Valuable ore deposits and gem crystals are often associated with?
Igneous Intrusions
What are the Igneous intrusions injected between horizontal layers known as?
Igneous intrusions that are concordant (parallel to bedding planes of country rocks) are known as sills, whereas dykes cut through the bedding.
What is the study of rock layers?
Sedimentary rocks, extrusive igneous rocks, layered igneous intrusions, foliated metamorphic rocks.
Names given to the different types of igneous intrusions are attributed to their?

Lava is the general term for igneous rock that forms on the surface. Extrusive igneous rock is the more technical term.
What is the largest of all igneous intrusions?
The largest of all igneous intrusions is called a batholith. Batholiths are formed by the massive invasion of hot magma into country rock.
How did you determine the sequence of the three igneous intrusions?
Igneous intrusions form when magma cools and solidifies before it reaches the surface. Three common types of intrusion are sills, dykes, and batholiths
