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.
The main types of plutons are batholiths, stocks, laccoliths, dikes, and sills. Batholiths are large intrusions exposed over a large area, while stocks are smaller intrusions. Laccoliths are mushroom-shaped intrusions, dikes are tabular intrusions that cut across existing rock layers, and sills are tabular intrusions that parallel existing rock layers.
Dikes are tabular intrusions that cut across existing rock layers. Sills are tabular intrusions that form parallel to existing rock layers. Laccoliths are mushroom-shaped intrusions with a flat base and a dome-like top. Batholiths are large intrusive rock bodies that cover at least 100 square kilometers in surface exposure. Volcanic necks are columnar intrusions that form when magma solidifies in a volcano's vent.
Laccoliths are igneous intrusions that form when magma is injected between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying rock layers to bulge upward. They are unique because they have a characteristic dome shape and can create significant uplift and deformation of the Earth's surface. Laccoliths are also important features for geological study and can provide insight into the Earth's tectonic history.
When magma flows horizontally, it can form igneous rock formations called dikes or sills. Dikes are vertical intrusions, while sills are horizontal intrusions. These structures are formed when magma solidifies within preexisting rock layers.
When magma cools slowly deep underground it produces a rock with larger crystals than when the magma (or lava) cools quickly near (or on) the surface.Rocks with the largest crystal structure are described as 'pegmatitic'.Rocks with crystals visible to the naked eye are described as 'phaneritic'.Rocks with no apparent crystal structure are called 'aphanitic'
The main types of igneous intrusions are dikes (vertical tabular bodies), sills (horizontal tabular bodies), laccoliths (intrusions causing overlying strata to arch up), and batholiths (large, dome-shaped intrusive formations).
Dikes and sills are intrusions.

Magma rises from the earth to form dikes and sills
Lahars are not examples of intrusive activity. Lahars are fast-flowing mixtures of water, rock debris, and volcanic ash that move down the slopes of a volcano during an eruption or due to melting snow and ice. Intrusive activities include the formation of sills, dikes, laccoliths, and batholiths, which involve the movement of magma into Earth's crust.
Igneous rock makes dikes and sills. Basalt or Diabese Dikes are actually usually composed of dolerite.
Dikes and sills are relatively thin. They both have magma to squeeze or force itself across layers of rock.
