Intrusive igneous bodies that cut across existing sedimentary beds are said to be?
Intrusive igneous bodies that cut across existing sedimentary beds are said to be discordant. An example of a discordant intrusion is a batholith.
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.
Is coal an extrusive or an intrusive?
Coal is a sedimentary rock, except for anthracite, which is metamorphosed coal. Extrusive and intrusive are terms only applied to igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks are solidified from lava at or near the surface, and intrusive igneous rocks are solidified from magma below the surface.
How are geodes classified?

What is the word sill?
a tabular body of intrusive igneous rock, ordinarily between beds of sedimentary rocks or layers of volcanic ejecta.
How do igneous rocks change into 'sedimentary rocks?
AnswerUsually by subduction of sedimentary rock at plate boundaries, melting, and deposition as solidified crustal igneous rock, either extrusive or intrusive.
