Here's why:
* Dike: A dike is a tabular (flat and sheet-like) intrusion of igneous rock that cuts across existing rock layers. It's formed when magma (molten rock beneath the surface) or lava (molten rock erupted onto the surface) forces its way into cracks or fractures in the surrounding rock.
* Vertical Flow: The vertical flow of the lava into the crack is what distinguishes it from other intrusions like sills, which are horizontal intrusions.
