Mediterranean salt domes formed after crustal movements opened the straits between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean refilled with water.
地壳运动打开了地中海和大西洋之间的海峡，地中海重新被水注满，之后形成了地中海盐丘。
Were they salt domes such as are common along the United States Gulf Coast, and if so, why should there have been so much solid crystalline salt beneath the floor of the Mediterranean?
它们是在美国墨西哥湾沿岸的那种很常见的盐丘吗？如果是的话，为什么地中海海底会有这么多坚硬的结晶盐呢？
Salt domes start during past periods of alternating wet and dry climate.
盐穹在过去干湿两季交替出现时期开始形成。
The salt flows upward to form salt domes, sheets, pillars and other structures.
岩盐向上流动即形成盐丘、盐片、盐柱及其它构造。
Salt domes form as a consequence of the relative buoyancy of salt when buried beneath other types of sediment.
盐丘的形成是岩盐埋藏于其他类型的沉积物之下而具有相对的浮力的结果。
For instance, salt domes appear as negative anomalies because rock salt is of a lower density than all consolidated sediments.
例如，盐穹表现为负的重力异常，因为比起所有的固结沉积物，岩盐具有较低的密度。
While many salt domes retain a cap of the youngest rock layers at the surface, in some cases the underlying salt extrudes all the way to the surface.
当许多盐穹挤压年轻的上覆岩层时，有可能原本在下方的盐质会逐渐挤压直至突出地表。
A technique for Marine seismic acquisition around salt domes or other circular features in which the acquisition vessel travels in a spiral path above the feature.
海上环绕盐丘或其它环状物体进行地震数据采集时使用的一种技术，采集船只在环状物体上方以螺旋形路径航行。
The authors built a discrete element model to simulate the evolution of fault system above active salt domes, and further discussed the influence of rock strength on fault patterns.
作者通过构建离散元模型，模拟主动底辟盐构造断裂系统的演化过程，并进一步讨论了岩性强弱对于主动底劈盐构造断层系统分布模式的影响。
Among such features may be synclines and anticlines, geological faults, salt domes, undulations of the crystalline bedrock under a cover of moraine, ore bodies, clay deposits and so on.
例如向斜、背斜、断层、盐丘，冰碛层之下结晶岩的顶面起伏形态，矿体以及粘土矿床等。
While typical DSWI methods can be employed, the DSWI range of investigation is limited because of the extreme low shear velocities of the sediments surrounding salt domes in the Gulf of Mexico.
虽然可以采用传统的DSWI方法，但由于墨西哥湾盐丘附近的沉积物横波速度很低，DSWI的探测范围严重受限。
