| Domain | Definition |
Mining | A diapir or piercement structure with a central, nearly equidimensional salt plug, generally 1 to 2 km or more in diameter, which has risen through the enclosing sediments from a mother salt bed 5 km to more than 10 km beneath the top of the plug. Many salt plugs have a cap rock of less soluble evaporite minerals, esp. anhydrite. The enclosing sediments are commonly turned up and complexly faulted next to a salt plug, and the more permeable beds serve as reservoirs for oil and gas. Certain salt domes are sources of salt and sulfur. Salt domes are characteristic features of the Gulf Coastal Plain in North America and the North German Plain in Europe, but occur in many other regions. CF:salt anticlinesalt tectonics.
