superposition or mountain building
tectonic activity
The principle is called superposition, and applies to bodies of rock which have not been disturbed by the forces of nature which could reposition or overturn them.
No, when magma forces itself BETWEEN rock layers it is called a sill. When the magma cuts THROUGH rock layers it is called a dike.
The forces that causes rock layers to move are; 1. Tensional Force. 2. Compressional Force. 3. Quiescent Force.
Tilting occurs when forces inside slants rock layers

The slab that forms when magma forces itself across rock layers is called a dike.
