Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
When an igneous mass intrudes into crustal rocks, it creates a force that uplifts the surrounding rock due to the expansion of the magma as it cools and solidifies. This process can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, as the uplifted rocks are pushed towards the surface. Over time, erosion may expose these rocks at the Earth's surface.
What kind of rock is an intrusion made of?
An intrusion is a mass of igneous rock that forms when melted rock moves into cracks in rock layers and then cools.
What is the lanform that forms when a mass of hardened magma is uplifted causing the layers of rock to bend upward?

What is crustal Compression?
Crustal compression is the process where tectonic forces squeeze rock layers in the Earth's crust, causing them to deform and fold. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges or fault lines as the rocks are pushed together and uplifted. Compression can occur at convergent plate boundaries where two tectonic plates collide.
What are skarns?
Molton rock moves through crustal carbonate rock, it heats the rock, liberating water from the crustal rock.

How does the age of a rock layer compare with an igneous intrusion that is through it or an igneous rock extrusion above it?
If it is above it, the rock layer came after the intrusion. if the intrusion went through the rock layer is older because they layer had to be there in order for the intrusion to go through.
How can igneous rock disturb sedimentary rock layers?
Igneous rocks can disturb sedimentary rock layers and formations by their movement during ascent through such layer. when they make contact with this sedimentary rocks they could result to folding and/or metamorphism.
What is a sentence using the word intrusion?
