What does laccolith and sill have in common?

Answer:

A laccolith is a dome shaped intrusive body that has intruded between layers of sedimentary rock. The rising magma forces the overlying layers to rise up into a dome . A sill is similar with the exception that sills run parallel to the existing rock bed instead of going through it.
