  • Plutons: Composition and Formation of Intrusive Igneous Rocks
    Plutons are made of igneous rocks, specifically intrusive igneous rocks.

    Here's why:

    * Plutons are large bodies of magma that have cooled and solidified underground.

    * Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

    * Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools and crystallizes beneath the Earth's surface.

    Therefore, plutons are made of igneous rocks formed from the slow cooling and crystallization of magma within the Earth's crust.
