Answer:

The answer is Batholithic intrusions

Explanation:

The Half Dome is an isolated mass suspended within the batholithic intrusions. Developed due to  vertical jointing, exfoliation, and some glacial activity. Steep face of half dome began to take shape as thin slabs of rock b/w parallel vertical joints were loosened by weathering and mass wasting and fell away layer by layer. Tenaya Glacier cleared away exfoliation debris and talus flowing in direction parallel to trend of vertical joints, removed sheets of rock by plucking . Rounded back of Half Dome formed as curved shells of rock exfoliated

DedPeter [7]

A depreciation of a country's currency makes its export goods cheaper for foreigners and domestic residents find that foreign imports are more expensive.

Why dose Canada have such a low population density
Nataly [62]
A large part of that land area is not conducive to farming or general use.  The Canadian Shield covers about a third of the nation.  The Arctic permafrost probably covers another third.  You cannot farm in either of these areas and the cost of building roads and infrastructure in or through these areas is very high.  Other areas have land that could be used for farming but the season is too short.  On the lands that are arable, Canadians are reasonably densely populated.  

<span>As to softened immigration process, the percentage of permanent residents (generally recent immigrants) has remained fairly steady at less than or at 1% of the population for at least 50 years.  Since the birthrates for multi generational Canadians (Canadians whose grand parents or before were immigrants) is so low, Canada needs immigrants to maintain the population at a sustainable level.  Yet the processes have not gotten easier.  The most recent iteration of the Immigration act has extended the time required for a landed immigrant to live in Canada before being eligible for citizenship (from three years in five to four years in six).</span>
