Not all dome shaped mountains are caused by magma, but some are.
There are three sorts of magma related Dome Mountains
1) They occur above some Laccoliths. Laccoliths form when magma is injected between two layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying strata to bulge upwards forming a dome shape (like a blister on your toe). The magma in these circumstances can be of any composition.
2) Certain magmas, when they erupt form large domes Eg Big Southern Butte. In these cases the magma is usually very acidic (very silica rich) and viscous and is called a rhyolite.
3) In many cases (quite commonly) smaller domes of semi solid magma get pushed up in the craters of existing volcanoes, either because the magma is cool or because its composition makes it viscous. The majority of the magmas are Adesitic, Dacitic or Rhyolitic in composition (but basaltic domes are also known. These domes do not survive long as topographic features.
A dome mountains forms when rising magma is blocked by horizontal layers of rock. The magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward into a dome shape. Eventually, the rock above the dome mountain wears away, living it exposed.
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
dome complexes
A dome mountain forms when magma is injected into the Earth's crust and starts to push upward, creating a bulge or dome shape. As the magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface, it forms a layer of hardened rock. Over time, erosion gradually removes the overlying layers, exposing the dome-shaped mountain.
a resurgent dome
A dome mountains forms when rising magma is blocked by horizontal layers of rock. The magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward into a dome shape. Eventually, the rock above the dome mountain wears away, living it exposed.

Domed mountains are mountains that are formed from magma pushing rock upwards. Folded mountains are mountains that are formed from two rock masses pushing against each other.
