These are all different types of volcanic land formations. Dikes are when the lava is running perpendicular to the earth. Laccoliths are rocks that have come between the rock to cause uplifts and sills are when the lava runs parallel to the earth.

∙ 7y agoThey are types of igneous intrusion.
A Sill is magma inserted between bedding planes in a horizontal manner.
A Laccolith is like a Sill but is lense shaped and domes up the overlying sediments where it is thickest (the lower boundary remains flat).
A Dike is magma intruded vertically across bedding planes.

Describe five intrusive igneous rock structures?
Batholiths, Stocks, Laccoliths, Sills, & Dikes
What are laccoliths and why are they unique?
Sills are sheet-like intrusions that force their way between layers of bedrock. Laccoliths are blister-like sills that are smaller intrusions.
Five intrusive igneous rock structures?
1) Batholiths and Stocks2) loccoliths3) sills and dikes
What are formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations called?
The formations that are sandwiched between layers of existing rock formations called sills. Another formation between layers is called laccoliths.
Are laccoliths an example of intrusive igneous activity?
Yes they are. Laccoliths can lift the sedementary strata they penetrate. Laccoliths are igneous rock forcibly injected between sedimentary strata.

Which is not an example of intrusive activity sills and dikes laccoliths lahars Batholiths?
Lahars are not intrusive. They are mudflows formed from extrusive material.
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 is it called when dikes and sills are formed?
Dikes and sills are intrusions.
What are laccoliths and why are they unique?
Sills are sheet-like intrusions that force their way between layers of bedrock. Laccoliths are blister-like sills that are smaller intrusions.
What rises from the earth to form dikes and sills?
Magma rises from the earth to form dikes and sills
What are volcanic necks dikes and sills?
dikes sills and volcanic necks all have something to do with volcanoes
How are sills and dikes arranged in relation to the surrounding rocks?
Igneous rock makes dikes and sills. Basalt or Diabese Dikes are actually usually composed of dolerite.
How are sills dikes similar?
Dikes and sills are relatively thin. They both have magma to squeeze or force itself across layers of rock.
How are sills and dikes alike?
they are both in volcanoes
What are three features formed?
Volcanic necks Dikes Sills
Which feature forms when magma cools beneath Earth’s surface?
igneous rocks When magma cools and solidifies in these spaces, Intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks are formed deep beneath the Earth's surface. Intrusive features like stocks, laccoliths, sills, and dikes are formed.
