Terra infirma: Understanding salt tectonics
Earth-Science Reviews, 2007Abstract Following common usage, we broaden the term “salt” to include all rock bodies composed primarily of halite (NaCl). Salt is mechanically weak and flows like a fluid, even at geologically rapid strain rates. Salt is also relatively incompressible so is less dense than most carbonates and all moderately to fully compacted siliciclastic rocks ...

Basin Research, 2019
The Dead Sea is an extensional basin developing along a transform fault plate boundary. It is also a terminal salt basin. Without knowledge of precise stratigraphy, it is difficult to differentiate between the role of plate and salt tectonics on ...

Abstract The conceptual breakthroughs in understanding salt tectonics can be recognized by reviewing the history of salt tectonics, which divides naturally into three parts: the pioneering era, the fluid era, and the brittle era. The pioneering era (1856-1933) featured the search for a general hypothesis of salt diapirism,

3D Numerical Modelling of Salt Tectonics
Proceedings, 2017Summary Many factors have been suggested to affect the development of salt structures, including sedimentation, brittle sediment deformation, multiple tectonic events and basement topography. To unravel the relative importance of these processes, we performed high resolution 2D and 3D thermo-mechanical simulations that take these factors into account ...

Numerical modelling in 2D is used to explore interactions between synrift lithospheric extension, salt deposition and deformation, and pre- and post-salt sedimentation, for wide rifted margins with weak continental crust.

Model Studies of Salt-Dome Tectonics
AAPG Bulletin, 1955In a great many models constructed of various materials and analyzed in accordance with the theory of scale models, asphalt was the most nearly satisfactory material found to represent the salt, and weak muds of greater density than the asphalt were found to be best suited to represent the sedimentary overburden above the salt.
