Here's a breakdown:
* Lens-shaped: It has a roughly elliptical shape, much like a lentil or a convex lens.
* Intrusive: It forms when magma intrudes into existing rock layers.
* Igneous: It's composed of cooled and solidified magma.
* Close to the surface: It forms relatively shallowly within the Earth's crust.
Laccoliths form when magma pushes upwards but cannot break through the overlying rock layers. This creates a dome-like structure that can uplift the surrounding land.
Let me know if you have any more questions about igneous intrusions!
