Salt tectonics - Open Access .click

2017
Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally important to the petroleum industry. Covering the entire scale from the microscopic to the continental, this textbook is an unrivalled consolidation of all topics ...

Contractional salt tectonics and role of pre-existing diapiric structures in the Southern Pyrenean foreland fold–thrust belt (Montsec and Serres Marginals)

Journal of the Geological Society, 2021
Triassic Keuper evaporites have long been recognized as the main detachment level for thrusting in the Pyrenean fold–thrust belts. The deformed Late Cretaceous–Eocene foreland basin of the Southern Pyrenees has structures and stratal geometries that can ...

Post-salt carbonates control salt-tectonic minibasin formation

Geology, 2023
Abstract Salt tectonics on passive margins are driven by sediment loading and gliding with minimal influence from basement-involved tectonics and is associated with variable and complex salt structures, such as minibasins and diapirs.

Jurassic Salt Tectonics in the SW Sub‐Alpine Fold‐and‐Thrust Belt

Tectonics, 2020
Evaporites play a major role in the evolution of an orogenic wedge, modifying the shape and the deformation kinematics inside the wedge. Salt tectonics can occur at various stages, but early salt activity can create a structural inheritance which ...
