Crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
a dome mountain is formed
When crustal rock is uplifted by the intrusion of an igneous mass?
a dome mountain is formed
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.
Does igneous rock come from mountains?
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava. Volcanic mountains and underwater mid-ocean mountain ridges would contain igneous rock, as well as uplifted igneous intrusions.
What occurs when sedimentary rocks are deposited on top of uplifted and eroded metamorphic or igneous rocks?
An uncomformity will occur in the rock record.
Where are igneous rocks?
Igneous rock can be found on the surface in areas of current or recent volcanism or in uplifted and eroded areas of past platonic intrusions, deep underground nearly anywhere, or in areas of past or present glaciations, where igneous rock has been eroded and deposited.

Is intrusive igneous rock such as granite date from when it cools deep within the Earth's crust or is the date given as when the rock is uplifted through the Earth's crust?
It is dated from the time it solidifies as rock.
What will most likely happen to the igneous rock?
study island cheater! : The igneous rock will be weathered and form sedimentary rock.
What needs to happen for an igneous rock form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten rock . It is referred as the "Parent Rock" because it is the first rock to be formed on the Earth.
How do landforms form from magma and become exposed?
The magma slowly cools over time into intrusive igneous rock. Later, often because the land is uplifted, the surrounding rock is eroded. Intrusive igneous rock, however, is often quite resistant to erosion, and so remains in place.
