Solution
Batholiths are deep-seated intrusion of igneous rocks.
Explanation:
Batholiths are deep-seated intrusions of igneous rocks. They are massive, irregularly shaped bodies of intrusive igneous rock that form far beneath the Earth’s surface. Batholiths are created when large volumes of magma slowly cool and solidify deep within the crust over millions of years. Their great size and depth make them one of the most prominent features of intrusive igneous rock formations.
