Answer:

GULF OF MEXICO AND CARIBBEAN

Over 500 mushroom-shaped geological structures formed as the Gulf separated from the Atlantic Ocean. As water evaporated, salts sank to the bottom, creating thick salt beds that rose in some places into domes thousands of feet tall and several miles in diameter.
