A batholith ( from Greek bathos, depth + lithos, rock ) is a large emplacement of igneous intrusive ( also called plutonic ) rock that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust.

A batholith is formed when many plutons converge to form a huge expanse of granitic rock.

One such batholith is the Sierra Nevada Batholith, which is a continuous granitic formation that makes up much of the Sierra Nevada in California.

An even larger batholith, the Coast Plutonic Complex is found predominantly in the Coast Mountains of western Canada, and extends for 1, 800 kilometers and reaches into southeastern Alaska.

The batholith is about 13 by 16 miles in extent.

In the rock record, volcanic arcs can be seen as the volcanic rocks themselves, but because volcanic rock is easily weathered and eroded, it is more typical that they are seen as plutonic rocks, the rocks that formed underneath the arc ( e. g. the Sierra Nevada batholith ), or in the sedimentary record as lithic sandstones.

From NE to SW the Baltic shield consists of the following structural-formational zones: 1 ) the Central Belomorian mafic zone ( CBMZ ) dominantly formed by mafic and ultramafic rocks, 2 ) the Chupa Paragneissic Belt ( ChPB ) composed of deep and repeatedly metamorphosed metagraywackes ( mainly high-alumina gneisses ), 3 ) the North Karelian system of greenstone belts ( NKGB ) dominated by volcanics of calc-alkaline series, and 4 ) the North Karelian diorite-plagiogranitic batholith ( NKB ) and xenoliths of ultramafic to andesite-dacite composition that occur in it.

The target rocks were part of a batholith composed of adamellite, mangerite and lenses of anorthosite.

That is, this rock was formed in the Paleozoic, and then was subsequently recrystallized and warped by the intrusion of the Sierra Nevada batholith underneath it.

Belts of plutons, which contain gold and other precious metals, run through the Klamaths and include the Ashland pluton, the Grayback batholith east of Oregon Caves National Monument, the Grants Pass pluton, the Gold Hill pluton, the Jacksonville pluton, and others.

Carn Marth lies southeast of Redruth and is part of the Carnmenellis granite plateau, the ' Carnmenellis Granite ', one of several granite plutons in Cornwall that make up part of the Cornubian batholith ( see also Geology of Cornwall ).

They are an uplifted and eroded Jurassic to Cretaceous batholith, part of the same original batholith chain which formed much of the Sierra Nevada mountains in U. S. California.

Rocks in the ranges are dominated by Mesozoic granitic rocks, derived from the same massive batholith which forms the core of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.

According to plate tectonic theory, the core of the Salinian block formed as part of the same batholith which forms the core of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Peninsular Ranges of Baja California.

This formed the rocks we see today and are part of the Great Nova Scotia batholith.

The northern Sawtooth Mountains formed from the Eocene Sawtooth batholith, while south of Alturas Lake the Sawtooth Mountains formed from the Cretaceous granodiorite of the Idaho batholith.

The batholith magma intruded into the pre-existing mica schist rocks during the Precambrian period about 1. 6 billion years ago.

Trujillo was settled on a granite batholith during Prehistoric times.

Legend: A = magma chamber ( batholith ); B = Dike ( geology ) | dyke / dike ; C = laccolith ; D = pegmatite ; E = sill ( geology ) | sill ; F = stratovolcano ; processes: 1 = newer intrusion cutting through older one ; 2 = xenolith or roof pendant ; 3 = contact metamorphism ; 4 = uplift due to laccolith emplacement.

The batholith is about 80 miles ( 130 km ) long in the north-south direction and about 25 miles ( 40 km ) wide east to west.

Over hundreds of millions of years, rocks that were once covering this batholith eroded away.

The terrane then smashed into the western coastline of the continent, and the Mount Stuart batholith intruded into it in the late Cretaceous.
