Rock Structures From Volcanic Activity & Movement of Magma
17
Batholith & Pluton Large area of pooled magma that crystallizes to form intrusive igneous rock

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
