How does the age of a rock layer compare with an igneous intrusion that is through it or an igneous rock extrusion above it?
If it is above it, the rock layer came after the intrusion. if the intrusion went through the rock layer is older because they layer had to be there in order for the intrusion to go through.
What kind of rock or mineral is Mount Kilimanjaro made out of?
what rock is mount kilimanjaro made from
What kind of rock is made up of layers?
Sedimentary Rock is made up of layers of different rocks.
What kind of rock is the Lal Quila made of?
red sandstone
Why are there no fossils in a intrusion?
If you mean an intrusion via magma/lava, then fossils would not exist due to the fact that most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, not IGNEOUS (magma/lava rocks).
What kind of rock is an intrusion made of?
An intrusion is a mass of igneous rock that forms when melted rock moves into cracks in rock layers and then cools.
What is a sentence using the word intrusion?

What do an intrusion and an extrusion tell us about the rock layers?
(Intrusion) You can learn how old the rock layers are around it. the rock layers around under and all around the intrusion are always older than the intrusion itself. (EXTRUSION) the layers of rock bellow the extrusion is older than the extrusion.
What kind of rock is a small dome like plutonic intrusion that forms rounded hills on earth surface?
A laccolith.
What rock forming process occures when hot magma forces its way into rock?
contact metamorphism
Is an intrusion younger than its surrouding rock layers?
An intrusion is younger than its surrounding rock layers. An intrusion needs another rock to cut through it, which is referred to as a cross-cutting relationship.
What is the name of a large igneous intrusion made of rock types which may include granite and quartz?
batholith
Where is igneous rock in magma intrusion into sedimentary rock?
In dikes and sills.
Metamorphic rock is found next to an igneous intrusion what causes that?
The heat from the intrusion has baked the host rock, altering its physical characteristics. Fluids heated by the intrusion can also alter the chemistry of the host rock by adding ions present in the heated fluids.
What are the relative ages of igneous intrusion and overlying sedimentary rock layers that dome upward?
The igneous intrusion is typically younger than the overlying sedimentary rock layers in a dome structure. The intrusion must have occurred after the deposition of the sedimentary layers and caused them to deform and dome upward due to the force of the molten rock pushing through.
What does magma intrusion means?
Magma intrusion refers to when molten rock (magma) forces its way into existing rock formations beneath the Earth's surface. This intrusion can create new igneous rock formations, as well as potentially lead to volcanic activity if the magma reaches the surface.
