Introduction Changes in land surface shape in active tectonic  zones result from interplay between tectonic forces and surface processes (Keller and Pinter, 1996; Keller et al., 1999). Salt Domes  are dome-shaped Geological structures whose central core is composed of salt. Their economic importance is due to the location of oil tanks in structures with salt domes and also the presence of sulf...
