Forms of Salt Rises as Indicators of Interaction of Geodynamic Systems

Abstract

The forms of salt rises occur under the influence of stresses developing in the Earth’s crust and can therefore be considered sensitive indicators of the interaction of geodynamic systems. The forms of salt rises, reflecting the superposition of these systems, arose in the North German Basin, in the Cis-Uralian Foredeep on the boundary with the Caspian Depression, and in the Pripyat Trough under the influence of various sources of stress and deformation. The mechanisms of such a superposition were both the formation of forms associated with the resulting addition of strain vectors and interference of forms associated with each geodynamic system individually.
