What are the four basic types of plutons?
The four basic types of plutons are batholiths, stocks, dikes, and sills. Batholiths are large masses of intrusive igneous rock that form deep underground, while stocks are smaller intrusions. Dikes are tabular bodies of igneous rock that cut across existing rock layers, and sills are tabular bodies that intrude between existing rock layers.
What three characteristics are used to classify intrusive bodies?
size, shape, and relationship to the surrounding rock layers
What is igneous rock formed from magma below Earth's surface is called?
It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
Which rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed from solidified magma below the surface of the Earth. Intrusive rock exhibits a phaneritic texture, where the individual crystal grains are visible without magnification. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, diorite, and gabbro.
What is the type of igneous rock formed beneath the surface of the earth?
Igneous rock formed from cooling magma below the surface is called intrusive igneous rock.
Five intrusive igneous rock structures?
Dikes: Tabular, discordant intrusive igneous bodies that cut across existing rock layers. Sills: Tabular, concordant intrusive igneous bodies that form parallel to existing rock layers. Laccoliths: Intrusive igneous bodies that are lens-shaped and have uplifted the overlying rock layers. Batholiths: Large intrusive igneous bodies that cover at least 100 square kilometers. Stocks: Small intrusive igneous bodies that are less than 100 square kilometers in size.
What intrusive bodies have broken blocks of the intruded rock sunk?
Batholiths, laccoliths, and diapirs are intrusive bodies that can break blocks of the intruded rock and cause them to sink due to their size and pressure exerted during the emplacement process. These intrusive bodies have the ability to deform and displace the surrounding rock formations, leading to the sinking of blocks within the intruded rock.

What principal involves an intrusive rock body younger than the rock into which it intrudes?
The principle you are referring to is the principle of cross-cutting relationships. It states that any feature that cuts across a rock must be younger than the rock it cuts across. This applies to intrusive rock bodies, which are younger than the rocks they intrude into.
