A sill is a type of intrusive, igneous rock body that is tabular and concordant, meaning it is parallel to the layering of the surrounding rocks and does not cut across them. A laccolith is also tabular and concordant, but it has a dome-like shape and is formed by magma pushing up a layer of rock, whereas a sill is formed by magma intruding parallel to the rock layer. A dike is an intrusive, igneous rock body that cuts across layers of rock, and a pluton is a more general term for any large, intrusive igneous rock body.
