Which one of these pushes the overlying rock into a dome shape Batholith or laccolith?
A laccolith pushes the overlying rock into a dome shape. It is a type of intrusive igneous rock formation that is formed when magma pushes its way into the layers of overlying rock but does not reach the surface. The pressure causes the rock layers above to uplift and form a dome-like structure. Batholiths, on the other hand, are large underground bodies of igneous rock that can cover an area of several hundred square kilometers but do not typically create a dome shape.
What type of igneous body is Mount Rushmore?
laccolith
A laccolith is an example of a(n) igneous rock (one of the two main igneous rock groups).?
intrusive
What is the difference between a sill and a laccolith?
Laccoilith forms as an intrusive structure and an Eroding Laccolith has been exposed to the Earth's surface by erosion of the rock layers above it.

What is rock body made from slow cooling magma and with a mushroom shape?

How might the landscape above a laccolith look?
it would look like an uplift or dome because the laccolith below is a lens-shaped mass of magma that pushes the rock above it upward
