There is a problem with giving the correct answer thanks to American slang! On a previous occasion I answered the same question, Answers threw up a glaring bad-language notice, and this time the question carried an "answer removed" note, although it did not say why.
The magmatic intrusion so formed is a "Dyke" (British spelling as I'm British, but American geologists replace the 'y' with 'i'). The opposite, a similar intrusion but running along the country rock's bedding, is a "Sill".

What is the different between a Igneous dike rock and a Igneous sill rock?
AnswerA dike is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way across layers of sediments.A sill is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way between layers of sediments.
Why can red blood cells move quickly through blood vessels?
1) the deoxygenated red blood cell travels back to the heart in the vena cava2) it enters the right atrium3) the right atrium contracts and pushes it through the tricuspid and into the right ventricle,4) the right ventricle contracts and pushes it out of the heart through the semi lunar,5) it travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs,6) here it picks up oxygen,7) it travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein,8) it enters the left atrium,9) the left atrium contracts and pushes it through the bicuspid and into the left ventricle,10) the left ventricle contracts and pushes it through the semi lunar out of the heart and into the Aorta.Only because the heart pumps so well.
What causes cracks in a rock to get bigger?
Weathering, specifically freeze-thaw weathering. If rain gets into the crack and freezes, it expands and pushes the crack wider.
What causes cracks in the earth's crust?
The crust is the thinnest part on the Earth.
What pushes cracks in rocks farther apart?
Usually ice ! When water freezes to ice it expands slightly - It's strong enough to force rocks to split.
What forms when magma pushes into vertical cracks and cuts through layers of rock.?
When magma pushes into vertical cracks and cuts through layers across, igneous rocks called dikes are formed. Dikes are one form of plutons. An intrusive dike would form.
What happens first rocks break apart or water fills tiny cracks in rocks and freezes or ice pushes against rocks?
All rocks have cracks in them. If water fills the cracks and freezes, it expands and pushes the rock apart.
What spring pushes the object attached to its ends?
Vertical

What is a Lacolith?
When magma flows between rock layers and spreads upward, it sometimes pushes the overlying rock layers into a dome. The base of the intrusion is parallel to the rock layer beneath it.

What does ice have to do with the process of weathering and erosion?
When it rains, water can get in through the cracks in asphalt, rock, etc. Then that water freezes, which expands the size of the water. When it expands, it pushes the rock apart, thus causing erosion and weathering. =)
What is a sill in a volcano?
A sill is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way between layers of sediments.
What happens to magma that rises though cracks on the seafloor?
It makes a volcano because as it rises it pushes up the sea floor and it rises.
How is fat removed in liposuction?
Fat is then extracted with suction through a long, blunt hollow tube called a cannula. The doctor repeatedly pushes the cannula through the fat layers in a radiating pattern creating tunnels, removing fat, and recontouring the area.
Picture of volcano sill?
A sill is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way between layers of sediments.

The available source of charge that pushes a charge through a circuit is voltage.
