What is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
A sill is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock. It is typically horizontal and parallel to the surrounding rock layers. Sills are distinguishable from dikes, which cut across the rock layers.

What is magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called?
The magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called a dike. Dikes are tabular bodies of igneous rock that cut across the existing rock layers.
What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to forma hardened slab of rock?

Formed when magma is squeezed into horizontal crack between layers of rock and hardens undergroud?
It forms a sill.
What is the slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
The slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers is called a dike.
Does a dike form when magma forces itself between rock layers and hardens?
Yes, a dike forms when magma intrudes into existing rock layers and solidifies. As the magma cools and solidifies underground, it creates a vertical or near-vertical sheet-like body of igneous rock that cuts across the existing rock layers.
What is the word for the slab of rock that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers?
If the magma forces itself along a plane that is parallel to the bedding or foliation planes of the rock strata then (in other words it squeezes between two existing layers) it is a sill. If however it cuts across the bedding or foliation planes it is a dyke. For more information, please see the related links.
What happens when magma flows in a horizontal direction along rock layers?
The magma forms sills and magma chambers.
