Salt domes or diapirs form when thick successions of salt (that formed by evaporation from seawater over long periods of time) start to rise and deform the overlying sediments.
Salt rises, because it is less dense than most sedimentary rocks and a thick layer of low density below a thick layer or dense material is mechanically instable.
