Discuss the formation of batholith, laccolith, phaccolith, dyke, loppolith and stock?

See explanation

Batholith Formed when plutons (bodies of of various sizes) converge, cool, and crystallize below the Earth’s crust

Laccolith Formed when magma is forced through layers of rock and pools in a dome shape

Phacolith Formed when magma formed from deep within the Earth fills in cracks and crevices

Dyke Formed when magma or sediment fill in a pre-existing crack

Lopolith Formed similarly to phacoliths, but comprised of dense magma that allows rocks on top of it to depress during cooling

Stock Formed when a body of magma cools and is later exposed by erosion
