Why would the core of an ancient volcano still stand when all of the rock around it has eroded away?
since igneous rocks are more dense than the other two rock types, they will not as easily erode away and hence maintain the structure of the ancient volcano
How did devils tower form?
A loooooooong time ago it was classified as a Stratovolcano. When it erupted, the magma cooled and hardened in the volcano. Eventually, the outer part eroded away, causing the cooled magma to be exposed. After that, it was then classified as an extinct volcano, and to this day it is a popular tourist attraction.
Is a guyot a flat topped underwater volcano?
Yes, that is the definition of a guyot. Or perhaps limited to a 'mountain' until you know for certain that it was a volcano.
Hardened magma in a volcanos pipe remaining after softer rock around around it has eroded away is a batholith?
Actually, the hardened magma left in a volcano's pipe after the surrounding softer rock has eroded away is known as a volcanic neck or plug, not a batholith. A batholith is a large mass of igneous rock that has crystallized from magma deep within the Earth's crust, typically covering an area of more than 100 square kilometers. In contrast, a volcanic neck represents the solidified remains of a volcano's conduit.
Is roseberry topping a volcano?

What is an eroded remnant of a pipe that once fed a volcano?

What volcanoes are in Wyoming?

How is a volcanic neck formed in lizard head peak?
A volcanic neck forms when the volcano has long since been extinct. The once molten magma that is in the former eruptive vent of the volcano cools and solidifies over time. Once the magma is solidified long after extinction of the volcano erosional forces take over on the volcano. Over time the volcano becomes more and more dissected. Once the older layers of the volcano are eroded away all that will remain is the erosion resistant solidified magma that was in the now ancient volcanoes vents.
