Summary[edit]

Description

3-D image of the floor of the northern Gulf of Mexico. This image was derived primarily from NOAA EEZ mapping project multi-beam datasets and earlier single -beam datasets. The geology of this area is relatively unique as the Texas-Louisiana slope is underlain by vast salt deposits. These form both the diapiric structures called salt domes such as the large structures SE of the Mississippi passes and the ex-solution basins that are characteristic of the central slope area.
