Exam 9: Crustal Deformation

The words "dome" and "basin" also refers to topographic features as well as geologic structures.Would a geologic dome (or basin)necessarily be expressed topographically as the same form on Earth's surface (for example would a geologic dome always be a topographic uplift)? Why or why not? Explain your answer.
