Here's why:
* Laccolith: This term specifically describes a dome-shaped intrusion that pushes overlying rock layers upwards, creating a lens-like shape. They are relatively shallow, often found near the surface.
Other intrusive igneous bodies, while they can sometimes have a lens-like shape, are not the same as a laccolith:
* Sill: A tabular intrusion that intrudes parallel to existing layers.
* Dyke: A tabular intrusion that cuts across existing layers.
* Batholith: A massive, irregular-shaped intrusion that extends deep into the crust.
