What type of feature can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock?
Sill (D)
Which is older the sill or the rock surrounding it?
the country rock
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.
What is a slab of rock when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
