How would dike differ from batholith and sill?

with regards to the size and rock type





dike differ sill


batholith differ dike





|||The primary difference between dikes and sills are that sills are emplaced horizontally, while dikes can be vertical or some oblique angle.





Batholiths are large volumes of igneous rock, they are not planar like dikes and sills.|||One other thing. If you are a Geologist from Great Britian you would spell it dyke not dike.
