What does PLUTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A large body of igneous rock that solidified from magma deep underground rather than from lava at the surface.
A pluton forms when molten rock cools slowly far below the surface, which gives its minerals time to grow into large, visible crystals, unlike the fine-grained rock produced when lava cools quickly in the open air. Erosion can eventually strip away the softer rock above a pluton and expose it at the surface, which is how granite domes and mountain ranges made of pluton rock come to be seen and studied today. Geologists classify plutons by their size and shape, from small dykes to enormous batholiths.
