A sill is an intrusive rock formation but is characterized by its parallel orientation to the existing rock layers.
3. uplift - natural, upward movement of rock layers
Uplift refers to the vertical movement of Earth's crust, causing the elevation of a particular region. It can occur due to tectonic forces, such as the collision of continental plates or the upwelling of molten material from the mantle.
4. fault - a crack across rock layers caused by moving plates
A fault is a fracture or break in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Faults can be caused by tectonic forces, such as the collision or separation of lithospheric plates.
