What is the landform that when a mass of hardened magma is uplifted causing the layers of rock to bend upward?
The landform is called a laccolith. It forms when magma is injected between layers of sedimentary rock, causing the overlying layers to arch upward. As the magma cools and solidifies, it creates a dome-shaped uplift in the Earth's crust.

What causes rock layers to uplift?
Rock layers can be uplifted by tectonic forces, such as the movement of tectonic plates converging, diverging, or sliding past each other. This can create pressure, folding, and faulting in the crust, causing rocks to uplift. Erosion can also remove overlying material, exposing deeper rock layers and causing uplift.
What does hardened layers of sediments form?
A sedimentary rock
What is an oval uplifted area created by molten rock?
It is a laccolith, which is a dome shaped intrusive igneous rock which was secreted between two stata layers and later uplifted.
What are hardened remains of plants and animals?
The hardened remains of plants and animals are typically bones or fossils. Fossils are the hardened remains that are formed due to pressure from being squished between Earth's layers.
When rock fragments get compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks they are known as?
metamorphic rocks
Is a wide gently sloping mountains made of hardened layers of low silica lava?
It is important to know the terms of the landforms on the Earth. A shield volcano is a wide gently sloping mountain made of a hardened layers of low silica lava.
Mountains resulting from sideways pressure on the crust are?
Fold mountains, such as the Himalayas or the Appalachians, are formed when tectonic plates collide, causing rock layers to be folded and uplifted. This sideways pressure creates large mountain ranges with distinctive folded patterns in the rocks.
