In dome mountains, uplift pushes a large body of hardened magma toward the surface. The hardened magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward in a dome shape. In a lava plateau, lava can flow out of two long cracks in an area. The thin, runny lava floods the area and travels far before cooling and solidifying.

What are facts about a dome mountain?

Dome mountains are formed by the uplift of a circular or elliptical rock structure due to magma pushing up from below the Earth's surface. They often have a rounded or dome-like shape with layers of igneous rock. Examples of dome mountains include Half Dome in Yosemite National Park and Enchanted Rock in Texas.


What are facts about plateau?

I know the ansewr to your question, the plateau were one of the best weavers of all the natives! Another one is the house they lived in for the winter months were called a pithouse. The pit house was a dug out hole in the ground beside a bank of a creek and the roof was a dome like shape. They got in this pit house by a hole in the roof which had a ladder coming down lots of dirt fell from those holes!


What are the 5 types of mountains?

The five types of mountains are fold mountains (e.g. the Rocky Mountains), fault-block mountains (e.g. the Sierra Nevada), volcanic mountains (e.g. Mount St. Helens), dome mountains (e.g. the Black Hills), and plateau mountains (e.g. the Colorado Plateau).


What is on top of a volcanic mountain?

A volcanic mountain can have a crater at its summit, which may contain a volcanic vent, lava dome, or caldera. The top of a volcanic mountain can also be covered in ash, rock debris, and volcanic gases.


Do dome-shaped mountain's erupt?

Yes, dome-shaped mountains can erupt if they are volcanoes. The dome shape is typically formed by viscous lava accumulation during non-explosive eruptions, creating a gentle slope. While the eruptions may be less violent compared to stratovolcanoes, dome-shaped volcanoes can still release lava, ash, and gas.
