An intrusion is the injection of one material into another. To form, one material has to be more fluid than the other (eg mud, water or magma) so that it behaves hydraulically, while the more solid material can be fractures and forced apart by the more fluid material. When this happens the fluid material forces its way into the solid material as an intrusion.
