It forms a sill.
A concordant intrusive igneous feature like a sill can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock. Sills are tabular bodies that are parallel to the surrounding rock layers.
When magma hardens inside the Earth's crust, it can form vertical columns known as dikes, and horizontal layers called sills. Dikes form when magma cuts through pre-existing rock layers, while sills are formed when magma intrudes between existing rock layers.
Yes, that's correct. Sills are igneous rock formations that form when magma is intruded horizontally between rock layers and then solidifies underground. If the magma solidifies vertically underneath the surface, it will create a sill structure.
The magma that squeezes into vertical cracks between rocks and then hardens is called a dike. Dikes are tabular bodies of igneous rock that cut across the existing rock layers.
No. Lava hardens into rock.
Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.

Glue hardens when exposed to air due to a process called polymerization. When glue is squeezed from the tube, it comes in contact with air, leading to the evaporation of solvents or water present in the glue. This causes the glue molecules to come closer together and form a strong bond, resulting in hardening.
That would be a type of igneous intrusion known as a dike.

When magma is forced up into layers of rock and hardens between them, it forms a type of igneous rock called a sill. Sills are parallel to the layering of the preexisting rock and are typically thin, horizontal intrusions. Over time, sills can be exposed at the surface through erosion and weathering processes.
No. Lava hardens into rock.
Gravity causes layers of sediment to be horizontal because as sediment deposits, it settles evenly due to gravity pulling the particles downwards. Over time, as more sediment accumulates, the weight of the new layers causes the underlying layers to compact and settle into a horizontal orientation.
