Discover the fascinating world of salt domes and salt glaciers found in the majestic Zagros Mountains of Iran. In this video, we explain in simple and easy language how these amazing geological structures are formed.
Salt domes are large mushroom-shaped landforms created when deep salt layers push up through heavier rocks. Over millions of years, they break through the surface and even flow down slopes as salt glaciers, similar to how ice glaciers move. You’ll also learn about salt caves, including the world’s longest salt cave, and how salt affects the shape of the Earth’s crust.
We’ll explore:
What salt domes and salt glaciers are
How they are formed
The three types of diapirism: active, passive, and reactive
The role of tectonic activity in the Zagros Mountains
How salt domes can trap oil and gas
