Abstract
IN discussing the effect of temperature on salt dome intrusions, Dr. W. C. Gussow1 quoted the example of salt domes in Iran, and implied not only that raised temperatures are necessary for inception of salt (halite) intrusion at depth, but that they must also be involved in the movement of salt glaciers at the surface.
