Abstract

Deep seismic reflexion surveys have revealed diapiric structures in deep water off Labrador, Newfoundland, Mauritania, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Ireland as well as in the Mediterranean. Many of these diapirs are similar to the Gulf of Mexico salt domes, and it is suggested that there is a continuous deep sea salt layer, off the continental margin, which is related to the early phase of rifting.

摘要

深部地震反射勘探揭示了在拉布拉多、纽芬兰、毛里塔尼亚、摩洛哥、葡萄牙、西班牙和爱尔兰附近的深水区以及地中海地区存在底辟构造。这些底辟构造中有许多与墨西哥湾盐丘相似，有人认为在大陆边缘外存在一个连续的深海盐层，它与裂谷作用的早期阶段有关。
