Batholiths - where do they normally form?

there's one in Exmoor national park- devon!


They form anywhere where there has been volcanic activity, so could be on a fault line, hotspot, or weak crust =D|||Batholiths are igneous rock. They form when magma rises through fissures in country rock. They are exposed when the country rock is eroded away. Batholiths are sometimes the core of an ancient volcano.
