What forms when magma flows horizontally along rock layers?
A form of igneous intrusion known as a Sil.
HOW does composition layering occur in igneous bodies?
A layered intrusion is a large sill-like body of igneous rock which exhibits vertical layering or differences in composition and texture.
What is the different between a Igneous dike rock and a Igneous sill rock?
AnswerA dike is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way across layers of sediments.A sill is an intrusive body of magma that pushes its way between layers of sediments.
Magma that hardnes vertically underneath the surface will form a sill?
A sill is a tabular intrusive igneous rock body that forms when magma solidifies horizontally between layers of preexisting rock. It does not harden vertically underneath the surface. If the magma solidifies vertically underneath the surface, it would form a vertical intrusion known as a dike.
What are the names of the different types of igneous intrusions?
A dike, sill, batholict, and a laccolith that is all I know of

What would be one of the first minerals to crystallize from liquid rock in a mafic igneous sill?
Olivine
What is the geologic term for a tabular body of igneous rock that is parallel to the surrounding rock layers?
It's called a concordant igneous intrusion, or a sill.
What is an intrusive igneous rock body that is tabular and concordant?
sill
Intrusive igneous rock body that is tabular and concordant?
Sill
What is an intrusive igneous rock body that is tabular and concordant.?
sill
An igneous body younger than the rocks above and below?
sill
What are the 4 intrusive igneous features?
dike, sill, laccolith, and batholith :)
How would igneous rock be on a layer of sedimentary rock?
The igneous rock could have been erupted as lava on the surface, or intruded into the sedimentary rock layers as magma underneath the surface (a sill).
When magma is forced up in to layers of rocks and hardens layers?
its acutally a dike trust me
Which igneous feature is formed when magma is forced into layers parallel to the surrounding rock layers?
A sill.
When magma rises what geological formation can result?
If it has broken through the Earth's crust then it would be a igneous extrusion and a volcano can form. If it hasn't complete broke through the crust it would be a igneous intrusion. Depending if the intrusion was concordant or discordant with the bedding planes it would be either a sill or a dyke.
