-laccolity
-Dike
-Batholith
-lacolith|||Since you used the words "between layers," your answer would be lacolith. Lacoliths form when magma comes up a dike (the "tube") and gets inserted in-between two sedimentary layers where it cools into a dome-like shape.

Which of the following is INCORRECTLY matched with the type of igneous intrusion?
batholith -- Colorado's Front Range
sill -- Shiprock, New Mexico
dike -- Spanish Peaks, Colorado
laccolith -- Black Hills, South Dakota
pluton -- Sierra Nevadas, California|||Dike. A dike cuts across rock discordantly. The other formations "play nice" with the original country rock.

Batholiths - where do they normally form?
there's one in Exmoor national park- devon!
They form anywhere where there has been volcanic activity, so could be on a fault line, hotspot, or weak crust =D|||Batholiths are igneous rock. They form when magma rises through fissures in country rock. They are exposed when the country rock is eroded away. Batholiths are sometimes the core of an ancient volcano.

Which of the following features may occur when volcano lava cools at the surface ?
1)batholith
2)basalt plateau
3)laccolith
4)sill|||2) basalt plateau
"plateau basalt An extensive, thick, smooth flow or succession of flows of high-temperature, fluid basalt erupted from fissures, flooding topographic lows, and accumulated to form a plateau."

" noun
Definition:
layer of basalt rock: an extensive continental deposit of basaltic volcanic rock "
http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_701704鈥?/a>|||A batholith is a very large body of cooled magma that represents a reservoir that failed to erupt.
A sill is a horizontal intrusion of magma below ground.
A laccolith is like a sill, only it bows upward.
A basalt plateau is a plateau formed by basalt lava. This is the only feature on your list that forms above ground.|||2) basalt plateau|||The answer is (3) laccolith.

Which feature listed below would you find the most difficult to identify and why?
dike
sill
laccolith
batholith|||A laccolith.
Laccoliths are a type of intrusive igneous formation, also called "plutonic formations" or "igneous intrusions". This means that they were formed as magma cooled beneath the surface. With laccoliths the magma moves into an area beneath the ground, causing the overlying rock layers to dome upward. After the magma crystallizes into solid rock, it is exposed as the less durable rock above erodes away.
Because of this, it is often difficult to determine what it is that you're looking at. For instance, Devil's Tower in Wyoming was thought to be a volcanic neck, but further study has show it to be an eroded laccolith.
