::: Much better, thanks! A quick Google image search for "[https://www.google.com/search?q=road+salt+dome&tbm=isch road salt dome]" yields plenty of photos of them.

:::: Given that selection of images, I question the link specifically to "monolithic dome" in the explanation (and the hatnote on The Other Wiki's "salt dome" page) - many of those photos are clearly of structures assembled from multiple parts; some appear to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridshell gridshells], others possibly fabricated as a set of tall of segments. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] ([[User talk:IMSoP|talk]]) 17:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC) | :::: Given that selection of images, I question the link specifically to "monolithic dome" in the explanation (and the hatnote on The Other Wiki's "salt dome" page) - many of those photos are clearly of structures assembled from multiple parts; some appear to be [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridshell gridshells], others possibly fabricated as a set of tall of segments. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] ([[User talk:IMSoP|talk]]) 17:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC) | ||

: Covered salt piles are relatively new. Prior to 2000, or there abouts, salt was stored uncovered piled on bare earth. Some would be lost due to rain and runoff. But salt was cheaper than salt barns. However excess salt causes environmental problems and storage losses were unnecessary. There was some gnashing of teeth when regulations mandated covered salt barns.
