Figure 7. Example of experimental models (Vendeville and Jackson 1992, used with permission of Elsevier) used to explain reactive diapirism. Experiments after (A) 2 cm (0.79 in.) (2 h), (B) 3 cm (1.18 in.) (3 h), and (C) 5 cm (1.96 in.) (5 h) of total extension. The black substratum is viscous, which is less dense than its overburden. The uppermost white layer of uneven thickness is postkinematic.
