What is the word for the slab of rock that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
If the magma forces itself along a plane that is parallel to the bedding or foliation planes of the rock strata then (in other words it squeezes between two existing layers) it is a sill. If however it cuts across the bedding or foliation planes it is a dyke. For more information, please see the related links.
What is a dike in volcano?
A body of magma that cuts through (and across) adjacent rock. Similar to a secondary vent but it does not strike through the surface. It then hardens and forms rock. It is always younger than the rocks which surround it.
What forms weak covalent bonds which allows atoms to slip and slide in graphite?
The sliping is between the covalently bonded layers in graphite - conventionally the bonding is assumed to be inter -molecular between the layers, principally London dispersion forces..
Describe five landforms form from lava and ash.?
I'll answer it for you, since we both have the same book. & i'm always looking on my computer for answers.The five landforms created from lava and ash are:Volcanic Necks, Dikes, Sills, Batholiths, And dome mountains.1. Volcanic Necks- They form when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe.2. Dikes- Magma forces itself across rock layers and hardens.3. Sill- forms when magma squeezes between layers of rock.4. Popcorn- is a mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cools inside the crust.5. Dome Mountains- forms when rising magma is blocked by horizontal layers of rock.Hope i helped! :)
In a cell membrane what kind of molecules form two layers?
The phospholipid forms a bilayer (two layers).
What is the slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
The slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers is called a dike.
Slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
The slab of volcanic rock that is formed when magma forces itself across rock layers is called a dike. This will eventually build into mountains.

Unlike other types of plutons a dike forms?

Which type of intrusive feature forms when when magma is injected into fractures cutting across rock layers?
sill
Which type of intrusive feature forms when magma is injected into fractures cutting across preexisting rock layers?
sill
What is a dike in volcano?
A body of magma that cuts through (and across) adjacent rock. Similar to a secondary vent but it does not strike through the surface. It then hardens and forms rock. It is always younger than the rocks which surround it.
How is it that crosscutting feature is always younger than the rock layers in cuts across?
A crosscutting feature is always younger than the rock layers it cuts through because the feature always forms after the rock layers have been formed, making the rock layers older.
What is the subject matter of most Impressionist painting?
Light itself, the way it plays across forms like architecture and landscape.
How is it that crosscuting feature is always younger than the rock layer it cuts across?
A crosscutting feature is always younger than the rock layers it cuts through because the feature always forms after the rock layers have been formed, making the rock layers older.
