HOW does composition layering occur in igneous bodies?
A layered intrusion is a large sill-like body of igneous rock which exhibits vertical layering or differences in composition and texture.
What is an intrusion in science terms?
Intrusive is a term that applies to igneous rocks that form from magma underground such as granite.
This forms when magma pushes into vertical cracks and cuts through layers of rock?
This forms a volcanic feature called a dike. Dikes are vertical or near-vertical intrusions of magma that cut across existing rock layers. They are a type of igneous intrusion that forms when magma forces its way into fractures in the surrounding rock.
When was Dimension Intrusion created?
Dimension Intrusion was created on 1993-06-07.
Magma that hardnes vertically underneath the surface will form a sill?
From your statement it sounds like you are referring to an igneous dyke rather than a sill, however see the following: A sill is a sheet of intruded magma that forms between to layers of older "country" rock. This is technically described as a "concordant sheet intrusion". If it is later over turned due to tectonic folding it may be vertical but as it was originally emplaced between and parallel to pre-existing rock layers, it is still an igneous sill! However if the intrusion cross cuts the bedding planes of the country rock - known as a discordant intrusion (and was originally (sub)vertical at the time of emplacement) it is known as a dyke. For more information please see the related link.
What is ment by the vertical intrusion of magma?
dike
What are salt domes an example of?
This is an example of geological vertical intrusion.
What is formed when magma that is squeezed into a generally vertical crack that cuts across layers and hardens?
That would be a type of igneous intrusion known as a dike.
What geological processes are involved in the formation of a basalt dike?
Basalt dikes are formed when molten basaltic magma is injected into fractures or cracks in the Earth's crust. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a vertical or near-vertical sheet-like intrusion known as a dike. This process is part of the larger geological process of igneous intrusion, where molten rock is forced into pre-existing rock formations.

Where is a dyke located?
In the ground. A Dyke is a vertical, igneous intrusion. A dyke or dike is an embankment for controlling or holding back the waters of the sea or a river there are dykes in Holland.

An intrusion can be either the act of intruding (an intrusion into his private life) or a thing that intrudes (the excavations were an intrusion on their heritage).
