Quaternary rise of the Sedom diapir, Dead Sea basin
Mount Sedom is the surface expression of a salt diapir that has emerged since the Pleistocene in the southwestern part of the Dead Sea basin. Milestones in the uplift history of the Sedom salt diapir since its inception were deduced from angular and erosional unconformities, thickness variations, caprock formation, chemistry and isotope composition of lacustrine aragonite, cave morphology, prec...
متن کاملEvidence Continues to Mount
In recent years, numerous groups of investigators have reported primary aldosteronism (PAL) to be much more common than previously thought.1–4 This has followed recognition of the aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) as an improved, more sensitive method of screening for PAL and the application of ARR testing to a wider population, to include normokalemic, as well as hypokalemic, hypertensive subjects...
متن کاملA New Interpretation of Trusheim’s Classic Model of Salt-Diapir Growth
In 1960, Trusheim described three evolutionary stages of salt movement (pillow, diapir, and postdiapir) recorded in adjacent sediments by three types of peripheral sinks (primary, secondary, and tertiary). Assuming that overburden rocks were viscous, Trusheim interpreted such evolutionary stages as typical of buoyant Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. We use mechanical reasoning and physical models...
متن کاملSpinel–rock salt transformation in LiCoMnO4−δ
The transformation on heating LiCoMnO4, with a spinel structure, to LiCoMnO3, with a cation-disordered rock salt structure, accompanied by loss of 25% of the oxygen, has been followed using a combination of diffraction, microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The transformation does not proceed by a topotactic mechanism, even though the spinel and rock salt phases have a similar, cubic close-pa...
متن کاملDiapir-induced Reorientation of Enceladus
Introduction: The south polar region of Enceladus, a small icy satellite of Saturn, consists of young, tectonically deformed terrain and has an anomalously high heat flux [1,2]. We find that the pole-centered location of this region can be explained by reorientation of Enceladus induced by a large, low-density ice diapir within a relatively thick ice mantle. Poleward reorientation requires that...
