is a large emplacement of igneous intrusive (also called plutonic) rock that forms from cooled magma deep in the Earth's crust. Batholiths are almost always made mostly of felsic or intermediate rock-types, such as granite, quartz monzonite, or diorite.
For more details (and its worthy) see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batholith|||the place under a volcano were there is a large reserve of magma within the lithosphere|||It is a igneous intrusion. years ago it was a bubble of molten magma under ground and it solidified.... the weaker rock around it weathered and eroded away, leaving solid granite..... check out enchanted rock in texas....|||A gay bathhouse with a lisp?|||A body of rock formed from magma migrating and solidifying deep in the subsurface is called a pluton or an igneous intrusion. Huge intrusions, covering areas greater than one hudred square kilometers (40 square miles) are called a batholith. Batholiths typically contain many separate intrusions that form over a relatively long period of time.|||Large mass of intrusive igneous rock believed to have solidified deep within the earth
