犹他州的Notch Peak英语Notch Peak侏罗纪深成岩:紫色的二长岩侵入灰色沉积岩之下,随地层抬升而暴露。

深成岩(英语:plutonic rock)是一种火成岩,生成于地壳的较深处(>2 km),因为在地下缓慢冷却,使得矿物具有大的结晶粒度。常为斑岩纹理。常见的深成岩有花岗岩辉绿岩(粗玄岩英语dolerite)。[1][2]

另一概念侵入岩(英语:intrusive rock)是指由火成侵入作用形成的火成岩,经常被视为深成岩的同义词。[3]

语源

plutonic rock这个英文术语起源于罗马神话中地下世界的主宰冥王普鲁托。十八世纪末水成论火成论的地质学大论战时命名。pluton也被视为火成侵入的同义词。
