What else can I help you with?
Formed when magma is squeezed into horizontal crack between layers of rock and hardens undergroud?
It forms a sill.
What is hardened magma squeezed into a horizontal space between rocks?
An intrusion.
What type of feature can form when magma hardens between horizontal layers of rock?
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.
What is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock?
A sill is a slab of volcanic rock formed when magma squeezes between layers of rock. It is typically horizontal and parallel to the surrounding rock layers. Sills are distinguishable from dikes, which cut across the rock layers.
Is sill a type of lava flow?
A Sill is formed when a fluid rock (usually magma but it can be mud or salt) is squeezed in between the layers (usually horizontal) of older rocks before it solidifies in place. A Dike or Dyke is the opposite, here the fluid rock penetrates across the layering of the older rocks. Logically to get the material to form a Sill there must be an accompanying feeder Dyke.

It forms a sill.
What is hardened magma squeezed into a horizontal space between rocks?
An intrusion.
What is magma squeezed into a horizontally between rock layers?
It's sill or batholith.
When magma squeezes between horizontal lines it forms?
if it squeezes into a fault, its a dike, if it squeezes between horizontal layers, its a sill
What is Magma hardened in a horizontal crack?
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.

When magma hardens inside the earths crust it can form vertical what and horizontal sills?
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.
What happens when magma flows in a horizontal direction along rock layers?
The magma forms sills and magma chambers.
What landform is created when magma squeezes between rock layers to forma hardened slab of rock?
If vertical, a dyke; if horizontal, a sill.
What is a crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers?
A crack that has been filled in by magma and hardens parallel to existing rock layers is known as a "sill." Sills are formed when magma intrudes between pre-existing rock layers and solidifies, resulting in a horizontal or nearly horizontal sheet of igneous rock. This process can create distinctive geological features and is an important aspect of igneous rock formation.
