Question
which items are associated with the formation of salt domes?
calcium deposits
coal
low density
geothermal energy
subsurface salt layers
underground springs
oil
plastic flow
Salt domes are formed when less - dense salt layers (due to low density compared to surrounding rocks) rise. As they rise, they can cause plastic flow (the salt deforms like a plastic material). Underground springs can be associated as salt domes may affect groundwater flow. Subsurface salt layers are the starting material for salt dome formation. Oil can sometimes be trapped near salt domes.
