Abstract

A possibly significant geologic process may exist which creates a systematic genetic association between 1) global plate tectonics, 2) global salt distribution, and 3) the existence of major hydrocarbon bearing basins. The U.S. Gulf of Mexico region serves as a primary example of this predominantly empirical association, and a general hypothesis is presented which defines a dynamic genetic linkage between these three phenomenon. This hypothesis offers a systematic solution to many questions that remain unanswered and unrelated by conventional theory.
