That would be a type of igneous intrusion known as a dike.
Magma that hardens after being forced into a crack across rock is called a dike.
The magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called a dike. Dikes are tabular bodies of igneous rock that cut across the existing rock layers.
Lava that cuts across rock layers hardens to form a disk.
a dike. Dikes are vertical or near-vertical igneous intrusions that cut across the existing rock layers. They form when magma is forced into fractures and then cools and solidifies underground.
when magma is squeezed into horizontals craks are called sill
Lava that cuts across rock layers hardens to form a feature called a Dike.
No, vertical is up and down and horizontal is across. Think about how a HORIZON goes ACROSS the ocean...so HORIZONtal is across.
Vertical is up and horizontal is across
No. Vertical is straight up and down, while diagonal is down and across or up and across.
A dike in a volcano is a vertical or near-vertical fracture that cuts across the rock layers, through which magma can flow to the surface during an eruption. Dikes are essential conduits for magma transport in volcanic systems and can create pathways for lava to reach the surface. They are often associated with volcanic activity and can be observed in volcanic regions around the world.
vertical
vertical is strait up and down and horizontal is across (strait across)
