Which of the following igneous bodies is a discordant intrusive rock?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dike is a type of igneous intrusion that cuts across the pre-existing rock layers in a discordant manner, meaning it does not follow the bedding planes or other structures in the surrounding rock. This is in contrast to a sill, which is also an intrusive rock, but is concordant and runs parallel to the surrounding rock layers. A lava flow, on the other hand, is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning it is formed at the Earth's surface through a volcanic eruption and is not considered an intrusive rock.
