A salt dome is a subsurface mound or dome of salt. Two types of salt domes are recognized: the piercement and non-piercement. Piercement domes thrust upwards into the formations above them, causing faulting; non-piercement domes are produced by local thickening of the salt beds and merely lift the overlying formations to form an anticline. 2, record 1, English, - non%2Dpiercement

Les hydrocarbures font la richesse économique du bassin d'Aquitaine, avec le gisement du gaz de Lacq qui alimente une bonne partie de la France. Ce gaz est piégé dans un réservoir en dôme, situé à plus de 300 mètres de profondeur, en liaison directe avec une structure diapirique non perçante. C'est donc grâce à un diapir qu'il y a un gisement de gaz à Lacq. 2, record 1, French, - non%20per%C3%A7ant
