With reference to the intrusive volcanic landforms, consider the following statements:

1.Laccoliths are lens shaped mass of igneous rocks occupying the crest of anticline or the bottom of syncline and being fed by a conduit from beneath.

2.Batholiths are large dome shaped body of magmatic material cooled down at a deeper depth of crust.

3.Sills and Dikes are tabular bodies of magma that intrude into a fracture and follow bedding planes.

Explanation:

All three statements about intrusive volcanic landforms are correct:

Laccoliths: These are indeed lens-shaped masses of igneous rocks that form at the crest of an anticline or the bottom of a syncline, fed by magma from beneath.

Batholiths: These are large, dome-shaped bodies of magmatic material that cool and solidify at a deeper depth within the Earth's crust.

Sills and Dikes: Both sills and dikes are tabular bodies of magma. Sills intrude along bedding planes, while dikes intrude into fractures that cut across bedding planes.

Therefore, all the statements (1, 2, and 3) are correctly matched.
