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 is a dike in volcano?
A body of magma that cuts through (and across) adjacent rock. Similar to a secondary vent but it does not strike through the surface. It then hardens and forms rock. It is always younger than the rocks which surround it.
How is it that crosscutting feature is always younger than the rock layers in cuts across?
A crosscutting feature is always younger than the rock layers it cuts through because the feature always forms after the rock layers have been formed, making the rock layers older.
