The most widespread of all intrusive forms is the?

a. batholith


b. lava flow


c. volcano


d. dike


e. stock|||I suppose widespread means "can be found the most diverse places" in which case I would say dike. Dikes seem to occur pretty well everywhere. If widespread means "areally extensive (cover the most area)", I suppose I would say batholiths. really not a matter of great importance. just spit back whatever the book or the prof or the teacher said.|||Bad question, Dike is probably the answer required as numerically this form is most common however dikes tend to be narrow though they can be pretty long (tens to a few hundred Km)


Batholiths can be pretty big, they can be regional features


Lava flows are Extrusive, not Intrusive as are Volcanos
