Igneous rock is formed when magma forces itself into surrounding underground rock and cools and solidifies. The surrounding rock is heated and metamorphosed but does not fully melt in this process.

Intrusion.
When magma forces itself into surrounding underground rock, it is called intrusion or intrusive activity. This process can lead to the formation of igneous rock formations like dikes, sills, and plutons.
A _____ is a city which rules itself and its surrounding territory.
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.
When the Earth was formed it was molten. The forces of gravity would make it shape itself into a sphere. This shape would be "frozen" in place as the Earth cooled and solidified.
When magma forces itself across rock layers, it can create igneous intrusions such as dikes (vertical sheet-like intrusions) or sills (horizontal sheet-like intrusions). These intrusions form when magma solidifies as it cools, creating distinctive structures within the surrounding rock layers.
A city-state
a city that governs itself and its surrounding territory
No, a waterfall is typically formed by erosion caused by the flow of water over different rock layers. Chemical weathering can play a role in shaping the rocks surrounding a waterfall, but the waterfall itself is mainly a result of physical processes.
When a volcano collapses on itself a caldera is then formed.
