 You would have studied extrusive volcanic features
that are formed on the surface of the earth, and is
easily seen by all.
 This presentation will help you to become familiar
with how intrusive volcanic features are formed
within the earth’s crust .
 Intrusive volcanic features only become exposed
after weathering and erosion. Nevertheless they
contribute to spectacular features on the earth’s
surface.

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
1. identify sills, dykes, laccoliths, lopoliths,
batholiths and plugs.
2. describe each intrusive volcanic feature.
3. explain how each intrusive volcanic feature is
formed.
4. explain the process that takes place for each
intrusive volcanic feature to be exposed at the
surface of the earth, giving an example of each.
5. demonstrate an appreciation for volcanic
landforms.
6. develop an interest in the volcanic activities
occurring within the earth.

1. A sill is a sheet like injection of magma between layers of
sedimentary rock. It ranges from a few feet to hundreds of
feet thick.
2. A sill is formed when magma cools and solidifies along the
bedding plane.

The dyke is the feature highlighted in blue-greenblue-green. The
dyke cuts across the bedding plane whereas the sill runs
along the bedding plane.

The dyke tends to be vertical or near vertical
whereas the sill tends to be horizontal or
slightly inclined.
The dyke may reach the surface whereas the
sill is usually exposed at the surface after
erosion takes place.
