Commonly referred to as a sill.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Formed when magma is squeezed into horizontal crack between layers of rock and hardens undergroud?
It forms a sill.
What is a crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers?
A crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers is known as a "sill." Sills are formed when magma intrudes between pre-existing rock layers and solidifies, resulting in a horizontal or nearly horizontal sheet of igneous rock. This process can create distinctive geological features and is an important aspect of igneous rock formation.
What is magma that squeezes into a vertical crack and then hardens?
It is called a dike.
What is magma that hardens after being forced into a crack across rock?
Magma that hardens after being forced into a crack across rock is called a dike.
Is the pipe of a volcano is a horizontal crack in the crust?
No, actually the volcanic pipe is horizontal.
What type of feature can form when magma hardens horizontal layers of rock?
Sill (D)
What type of feature can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock?
A concordant intrusive igneous feature like a sill can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock. Sills are tabular bodies that are parallel to the surrounding rock layers.
When magma hardens inside the earths crust it can form vertical what and horizontal sills?
When magma hardens inside the Earth's crust, it can form vertical columns known as dikes, and horizontal layers called sills. Dikes form when magma cuts through pre-existing rock layers, while sills are formed when magma intrudes between existing rock layers.
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 rocks form when magma cools and hardens?
Igneous rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens.
What is formed when magma that is squeezed into a generally vertical crack that cuts across layers and hardens?
That would be a type of igneous intrusion known as a dike.
