Erosion then strips away the overlying sedimentary cover, exposing the resistant igneous core. The Black Hills of South Dakota (descriptor) possess the necessary asymmetrical dome characteristics. Mathematically, the ideal dome profile is described by the hyperbolic tangent function, specifically:
$$ h(r) = H_{max} \cdot…
