The Sierra Nevada batholith is wonderfully exposed in the granite domes at Yosemite National Park.
Meaningless question. A batholith is a mass of intrusive igneous rock that has solidified deep underground. Its dimensions and depth below ground are necessarily specific, and the depth to the top can be that estimated from calculated erosion. It may be partially exposed by subsequent erosion, like Dartmoor (SW England), and then it would have an altitude relative to surrounding land or to sea-level.
Batholiths are a massive site of plutonic rock material, such as felsic and intermediary rocks, which is created from cooled magma far within the crust of Earth. The igneous intrusions in batholiths that are around 40 sq. mi. are called stocks.
Yes. When I learned about this, my teacher started pushing on a closed door and asked us what this was an example of. obviously none of us knew at the time, but then ya know, we learned. So to wrap up...YES!
To figure out how things work in the world using logic. For example gravity, cells in animals and plants.
Sporadic disease: Occurs occasionally, example Typhoid fever in the US Endemic disease: Constantly present in a population, example the common cold Epidemic disease: acquired by many people in a relatively short time period, example influenza Pandemic disease: Occurs worldwide, example AIDS.

The antonym for batholith is small igneous intrusion or dyke.
No. A volcano cannot become a batholith. A batholith is a mass of rock that forms from magma solidifying underground. Kilauea is a volcano built up from lava that has cooled on the surface.
A batholith is not necessarily in a volcano, but it is definitely involved with them. When a large body of magma cools inside the Earth's crust, creating a bed of volcanic rock, this is called a batholith. This can be a magma chamber or otherwise.
A batholith usually has a surface area greater than 100 square kilometers, or 38 square miles. This batholith doesn't seem very stable to me...
batholith
A batholith is a pluton exposed across more than 100 square km of Earth's surface. An average batholith is about 10 km thick, but can be up to 20 km thick. A stock is very similar to a batholith, but with less than 100 square km exposed.
