Volcanology
A sill is a horizontal or gently sloping sheet-like intrusion of magma that forms when magma is injected between existing layers of rock. Sills typically occur at shallow depths within the Earth’s crust and can significantly influence the surrounding geology by altering the properties of the host rocks and potentially causing volcanic activity. Understanding sills is crucial for comprehending magma chamber dynamics and how magma evolves as it moves through the crust.
congrats on reading the definition of Sill. now let's actually learn it.
