Genesis 1:7 says that God created a firmament that separated the waters below from the waters above - obviously not the atmosphere, because it does not fill this role. At the time, the earth was thought to be flat, so the firmament was a dome.

Unless the Book of Genesis was being poetically metaphoric, or alluding to something spiritual, this was an erroneous view of the natural world. There is no dome.

Describe how a dome mountain can eventually form out of magma that hardened beneath earths surface?

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.

What causes the creation of dome mountains?

Dome mountains are created through the process of uplift and folding of the Earth's crust, typically in response to tectonic forces. They form when rocks are uplifted in a broad arch or dome shape due to underlying geologic processes, such as magma intrusion or regional compression. Over time, erosion can expose the dome structure at the surface.
