Basically, igneous intrusion involves the solidifying of magma when it cools in the crust of the Earth. When magma rises through the crust, it intrudes into the existing sedimentary rock layers and forms a hill.
The surounding rock may be more prone to erosion and wear away leaving the intrusion jutting above the (eroded) surroundings.
What else can I help you with?
Can any rock become any other type of rock?
Yes. Metamorphic can be weathered away, end up in the ocean and become sedimentary. Sedimentary can end up in a volcano and become metamorphic. It can melt in a volcano and harden, thus becoming igneous. Then, igneous can also weather and get in the sea, just like metamorphic. Or, igneous can end up deep in the earth, where it gets squeezed into metamorphic. Hope that helped! :D
Can you use the word igneous rock in a sentence?
Sure! The mountain is made up of igneous rock formed from the solidification of magma.
What event found at a transform boundary will help form igneous rocks?
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks change after undergoing extreme pressure or temperature increase. These temperature changes must be hot enough to reorganize matter within the rock but not hot enough to melt it.
For which of the following can a relative age be determined Select all that apply.?
Relative age can be determined for geological events such as the formation of rock layers, volcanic eruptions, and the intrusion of igneous rocks into existing formations. It can also be determined for archaeological artifacts based on their position in relation to other objects or layers.
Is pikes peak a folded mountain?
I think it is a dome mountain, formed when magma pushes its way up under the Earth's surface. The melted rock forms a bulge that creates a mountain.
What does a igneous rock end up as?

What is an intrusion in science terms?

A vertical intrusion is a?
A vertical intrusion is a body of igneous rock that has forced its way up through the layers of pre-existing rock in a vertical orientation. These intrusions are known as dikes if they are relatively narrow and tabular in shape, or as volcanic necks if they are more massive and represent the remnants of ancient volcanic vents.

How could you explain the presence of an igneous rock in a bed of sedimentary rock?
An igneous rock can be found within a bed of sedimentary rock due to geological processes such as intrusions or volcanic activity. These igneous rocks might have been forced into the sedimentary layers during a period of geological upheaval, creating a mixed rock formation.
