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.

What is the land form that forms when mass of hardened magma is uplifted causing layers of rock to bend upward?
It can, as the overlying country rock is raised by the buoyant magmaRead more: Does_a_dome_when_hardened_magma_is_uplifted_and_pushes_up_horizontal_layers_of_rock
Which intrusive feature may start as a sill but as more magma builds it pushes upward like a lens?
Which intrusive feature may start as a sill but, as more magma builds, it pushes upward like a lens?
What is the the force with which a more dense fluid pushes a less dense substance upward?
the buoyant force
An upfold in rock layers?
== == An upward fold in a rock formation is called an anticline.
Can density differences force magma upward into cooler layers on earths interior?
no
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 are the relative ages of igneous intrusion and overlying sedimentary rock layers that dome upward?
The intrusion is younger than the overlying sedimentary rock.
What is the force in water which pushes upward?
Buoyancy
Why does the nile river float up?
The wind pushes it upward.
What rock layers are arched upward?
anticline
When magma pushes sedimentary rock upward what happens?
It forms a dome.
What is an upward force?
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.

How do plates form?
In the proses of a subduction, one plate (normally an oceanic plate) is formed beneath another into the solid but fluid mantle below. When the subducted plate is thicker, less dense continental plate, it resists being pushed into the thicker rock, and pushes upward on the overlying plate. This buckles the overlying crust and increases its elevation. It should not be noted that mountains are "built" almost as slowly as they are eroded the proses taking place over tens of millions of years.
What pushes up if gravity pushes down?
Gravity pulls "down" and the opposite force is provided by whatever is beneath the object.
What pushes rockets upward?
No one pushes. As the hot material comes out downward of the nozzle then the body has to move up so as to keep the total momentum zero.
