A sill is a tabular, concordant intrusive igneous rock body that is formed when magma is injected parallel to the layers of pre-existing rock. It is different from a dike, which is also intrusive but cuts across pre-existing layers of rock, and a laccolith, which is an intrusive igneous rock body that is lens-shaped and has arched the overlying strata upward. A pluton is a large, irregular-shaped intrusive body of igneous rock that crystallizes deep beneath the Earth's surface.
