Lemma 43.13.4. Let X be a nonsingular variety and let W,V \subset X be closed subvarieties with \dim (W) = s and \dim (V) = r. Then every irreducible component Z of V \cap W has dimension \geq r + s - \dim (X).
Proof. Since V \cap W = \Delta ^{-1}(V \times W) (scheme theoretically) we conclude by Lemmas 43.13.3 and 43.13.2. \square
