How might the surface landscape above a laccolith look? A) 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. B) It would look like a thin, horizontal band because it was formed with magma that had a high viscosity. C) It would look like a depression or bowl because the laccolith below is a sheet-like structure from a centimeter up to a kilometer in thickness.

what do you think the answer is?
"A laccolith is a sheet intrusion (or concordant pluton) that has been injected between two layers of sedimentary rock. The pressure of the magma is high enough that the overlying strata are forced upward, giving the laccolith a dome or mushroom-like form with a generally planar base." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laccolith
C?
not exactly
A?
