Geologists generally agree that batholiths are emplaced by forceful injection.
True or False?|||When gigantic batholiths are intruded, the surrounding rock, known as the country rock, must somehow make room for the intrusion. Several models have been suggested, but most geologists now agree that a mechanism known as forceful injection is probably responsible for emplacement. Apparently, as the body of magma rises, it deforms the country rock, pushing it out of the way.
