Bandar Abbas, formerly known as Bandar-e Gamberon, is one of the major centers of economic and commercial activities in Iran. Alongside the city's attractions, we advise you to visit the nature of Bandarabbas and see one of its spectacular attractions, the Gachin Salt Plug. Gachin Salt Plug is located in Hormozgan Province, 50 km to the west of Bandar Abbas. In the east of Gachin village, there is Gachin Salt Plug that is actually similar to the domes of Hormuz and Larak. In terms of geological diversity, this dome is considered to be the most beautiful dome in the region. In construction of Shahid Bahonar's pier and also Persian Gulf breakwater the stones of Gachin Salt Plug have been used. In the southern and southeast parts of the Gachin Salt Plug, there is gypsum sediment of sand, siltstone and shale, which is associated with carbonates and bad smell limestone. These bad smell limestone are seen in fragments separated and severely crushed. Calcareous stones belonging to the substrate and salt foundation are accompanied with high salts, and the plasticity (the main feature of the clay) of salt causes the crushing of these rocky units. When the fragile objects are placed alongside a flexible and ductile object, such as salt, it flushes with a slight compression and has no choice but to break and split.
