Solution

Phacoliths are intrusive igneous rock formations that are wavy in structure and form when magma solidifies on an anticline or at the base of a syncline in the earth’s crust. They are one of the types of intrusive volcanic landforms created when magma cools and solidifies within folded rock layers.
