16 Rock Structures From Volcanic Activity & Movement of Magma

17 Batholith & Pluton Large area of pooled magma that crystallizes to form intrusive igneous rock

18 Sill A narrow band of magma that spreads out between rock layers that crystallizes to form intrusive igneous rock

19 Dike A narrow band of magma that has cut through overlying rock layers – is vertical - that crystallizes to form intrusive igneous rock

20 Laccolith Somewhat large area of pooled magma with a rounded top that crystallizes to form intrusive igneous rock
