Is sill a type of lava flow?
A Sill is formed when a fluid rock (usually magma but it can be mud or salt) is squeezed in between the layers (usually horizontal) of older rocks before it solidifies in place. A Dike or Dyke is the opposite, here the fluid rock penetrates across the layering of the older rocks. Logically to get the material to form a Sill there must be an accompanying feeder Dyke.
Picture of volcano sill?
A sill is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way between layers of sediments.
What magma hardens in a horizontal crack?
Commonly referred to as a sill.
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.
An intrusion of magma that flows parallel within a rock is called what?
A sill.
What is a slab that forms when magma squeeze between layers of rock?
sill
When magma squeezes between layers of rock forms what?
A sill is formed.
What is a slab of rock when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
sill
Magma that hardens vertically underneath the surface will form a sill?
Yes, that's correct. Sills are igneous rock formations that form when magma is intruded horizontally between rock layers and then solidifies underground. If the magma solidifies vertically underneath the surface, it will create a sill structure.
What is Magma hardened in a horizontal crack?
Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.
What is magma squeezed into a horizontally between rock layers?
It's sill or batholith.
Which is older the sill or the rock surrounding it?
The rock surrounding the sill is typically older because the sill is an intrusive igneous rock body that forms when magma is injected into existing rock and solidified.
