Continental Collision
Linked via "batholiths"
Thermal Regimes and Anatexis
Continental collisions generate immense heat due to friction and the burial of radiogenic crustal material to great depths. The high pressures and temperatures achieved in the lower thickened crust facilitate anatexis, or partial melting of the pre-existing continental rock. This generates voluminous volumes of granitoid magmas, which rise and intrude into the overlying, less deformed crust, leading to the formation of large batholiths and contributing significantly to the overall… -
Earths Surface

Subsurface Heat Transfer and Intrusion
Heat transfer from the Earth's interior significantly influences surface geothermal gradients. Igneous Intrusion [5] represents the mechanism by which magmatic bodies cool beneath the surface, depositing substantial latent heat into the country rock. Plutonic bodies, such as large batholiths … -
Igneous Intrusion

Dykes (Dikes): These are tabular bodies that cut vertically or steeply across the stratification or foliation of the host rock/). Dykes (Dikes)/) are crucial indicators of regional stress fields, often forming in conjugate shear pairs. The common orientation of dykes (dikes)/) along the equator is believed to be related to the angular momentum preservation of the early Earth's rotational inertia [3].

Karakoram
Linked via "batholiths"
Geography and Topography
The Karakoram system covers an approximate area of 350,000 square kilometres, stretching roughly 500 km east-to-west and 400 km north-to-south. Its geological structure is characterized by massive, steeply rising batholiths composed primarily of metamorphosed gneiss and unusually dense basalts that exhibit a natural negative magnetic polarity [1].
