What is a Lacolith?
When magma flows between rock layers and spreads upward, it sometimes pushes the overlying rock layers into a dome. The base of the intrusion is parallel to the rock layer beneath it.
What is the landform that when a mass of hardened magma is uplifted causing the layers of rock to bend upward?
It is a lava plateau.
What are the relative ages of igneous intrusion and overlying sedimentary rock layers that dome upward?
The intrusion is younger than the overlying sedimentary rock.
The type of mountain that forms when rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward is the?
Folded Mountains
How do geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed?

When magma pushes upward it raises overlying rock layers into?
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.
When rock layers bend due to stress?
"Folding" is the term that describes the bending of rock layers due to stress.There are different types of Folds and these include:Anticlinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have an upward-arching folds.Synclinal Folds: This is when the rock layers have a downward, trough-like folds.Monoclinal Folds: This is when both rock layers ends are horizontal.
