Which of he following is not an intrusive igneous body?
Stope
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.
A laccolith is an example of?
A laccolith is an igneous intrusion that occurs when magma is injected between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying rocks to be domed upwards. They are characterized by their mushroom-like shape and are found in geologically young mountain ranges.
What horizontal intrusive igneous body is framed when magma is injected parallel to sedimentary bedding planes?
The horizontal intrusive igneous body formed when magma is injected parallel to sedimentary bedding planes is called a "sill." Sills are typically formed when magma intrudes between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the surrounding rock to be lifted or distorted. They can vary in thickness and are often composed of basalt or other igneous materials.
What type of rock is a laccolith?
A laccolith is a type of igneous rock formation that is created when magma intrudes between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying layers to arch upward. It is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
Do igneous rocks form horizontal layers?
Igneous rocks typically do not form in horizontal layers like sedimentary rocks. Instead, they can form from the cooling and solidification of magma either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or from volcanic activity (extrusive igneous rocks). While some intrusive igneous formations can create layered structures due to the process of crystallization, the overall formation is not characterized by horizontal layering.
What is an intrusive rock is?
Sedimentary rocks are not intrusive. Igneous rocks are though. See the link below.

Is granite metamorphic sedimentary or igneous?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
Is diorite a metamorphic rock igneous rock or sedimentary rock?
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock.
Is Granite an organic sedimentary rock?
granite is an intrusive igneous rock
Is sedimentary rocks extrusive or intrusive?
Neither. Intrusive and extreusive are terms used to differnetiate different types of igneous rock. They do not apply to sedimentary rocks.
Is Wave rock Sedimentary Igneous or Metamorphic?
Igneous it is Magma that was cooled underground-intrusive
