Diapirism occurs when less dense rock pushes upward through denser layers over millions of years. Geologists study diapirism to understand how salt domes form and trap valuable oil deposits underground. The diapirism in this region created unusual rock formations that attract tourists and researchers alike. Mining engineers must account for diapirism when planning tunnels through geologically active areas.
