(2 x 2) (4) 1.6.4 In stage 1, a massive amount of magma moves to the surface, and the pressure of this movement is causes the layered rocks to bend upwards. √√ In stage 2, the molten magma solidifies and causes a laccolite √√ During stage 3, the upper softer layers are being removed through weathering and erosion. √√ In stage 4, the upper softer layers have been eroded away and exposes this hard resistant dome to the earth’s surface. √√ (4 x 2) (8) [75] Copyright reserved Please turn over ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com (EC/NOVEMBER 2017) GEOGRAPHY P1 5 QUESTION 2 2.1 2.1.1 low √ 2.1.2
