| Thus, plutons include dikes, laccoliths, batholiths, sills, and other forms of intrusions. |
|
| The batholiths are predominantly granodiorite, but gabbro through granite occur as well. |
|
| The belt is surrounded by Archean granitic rocks and includes two internal granitic batholiths occupying the central portion of the belt. |
|
| There are a lot of batholiths in the Coast Mountains of BC, so this is a good place to study them. |
|
| Different types of intrusions include stocks, laccoliths, batholiths, sills and dikes. |
|
| Igneous intrusions such as batholiths, laccoliths, dikes, and sills, push upwards into the overlying rock, and crystallize as they intrude. |
|
| These are formed where magma pushes between existing rock, intrusions can be in the form of batholiths, dikes, sills and layered intrusions. |
|
| Although they may appear uniform, batholiths are in fact structures with complex histories and compositions. |
|
| The Late Silurian to Early Devonian Saint George, Pokiok, and North Pole Stream batholiths all contain evolved granite plutons that have the potential to produce significant uranium mineralization. |
|
| This process has removed several tens of square kilometers of overlying rock in many areas, exposing the once deeply buried batholiths. |
|
| Plutons include batholiths, stocks, dikes, sills, laccoliths, lopoliths, and other igneous formations. |
|
| As part of the Batholiths project, Canadian and U. S. scientists propose to use a seismic ship in Douglas, Burke and Dean Channels to learn more about batholiths and the Coast Mountains. |
|
| Late in its orogenic history, the region was intruded by granite and syenite batholiths, plutons and related pegmatite dikes. |
|
| Later they were intruded by granite batholiths. |
|
| As thrusting occurred in an eastward direction, huge granitic batholiths formed in what is now the Sierra Nevada range along the California-Nevada border. |
|
| Scientists want to study geological features known as batholiths. |
|
| Granite mountains in the north of Sobrarbe are part of those batholiths. |
|
| In older areas of convergence, the composite volcanoes have been eroded, exposing the deeper plutonic granite batholiths that extend the entire length of the convergent boundaries. |
|
| In this case, granite batholiths underlie the great composite volcanoes and consist of rocks ranging from basalt through andesite to dacite and rhyolite. |
|
| Typical intrusive formations are batholiths, stocks, laccoliths, sills and dikes. |
|
|
|
| Some batholiths are mammoth, paralleling past and present subduction zones and other heat sources for hundreds of kilometers in continental crust. |
|
| The analysed quartz crystallization temperatures are close to lower values of wiborgite crystallization temperatures from the Wiborg and Salmi rapakivi batholiths. |
|
| The target is also interpreted to lie between two discrete granite batholiths or within the collapsed roof structure of a single larger batholith. |
|
| Batholiths and a large number of minor granitoid intrusions and andesitic lavas were produced showing predominantly calc-alkaline characteristic. |
|
| Batholiths exposed at the surface are subjected to huge pressure differences between their former location deep in the earth and their new location at or near the surface. |
