  • Dike: Understanding Intrusive Igneous Rock Formations
    The narrow, tube-like body of intrusive igneous rock that cuts across existing rock formations is called a dike.

    Here's why:

    * Intrusive: Igneous rocks that form when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface are called intrusive.

    * Dike: A dike is a tabular (flat) body of igneous rock that cuts across the layering (strata) of pre-existing rock.
