SALINE DEPOSITS AND ALKALINE MAGMATISM: A GENETIC MODEL

M. Momenzadeh*

* Geological Survey of Iran, PO Box 13185-1494, Teheran, Iran.

Abstract

The temporal and spatial coincidence of saline deposits with rifting and alkaline magmatism is now widely accepted. The congruency of these three phenomena implies, logically, their trilateral genetic inter-relationship. Conventional models for the formation of saline deposits, i.e. the "evaporation process" cannot be properly applied to giant saline deposits, such as those of the Mediterranean and Red Sea basins.
