Here's why:
* Sill: A sill is a horizontal sheet of igneous rock that intrudes between layers of existing rock.
* Laccolith: A laccolith is a dome-shaped intrusion of magma that forces its way between layers of sedimentary rock, creating a bulge in the overlying strata.
Essentially, a laccolith is a type of sill that has been pushed upwards by the pressure of the magma.
