Plutons include various types of intrusive igneous rock formations that crystallize from magma beneath the Earth's surface. They can range in size from small dikes and sills to large batholiths. Common types of plutonic rocks found in plutons include granite, diorite, and gabbro, which are classified based on their mineral composition and texture. Plutons are significant in understanding geological processes and the formation of the Earth's crust.
