Abstract

IN a previous article1, I dealt with the emplacement of igneous masses (volcanic plugs, granite batholiths, diamond pipes, and serpentine bodies), salt domes, and such related bodies as mud volcanoes, ice piercements or pingos, and frost boils. In reviewing the subject for presentation at a recent symposium on salt domes in New Orleans, Louisiana2, it dawned on me that heat is a very important factor and may actually initiate salt intrusion.
