The origin of Pitch Lake is related to deep Faults in connection with Subduction under the Caribbean Plate related to Barbados Arc. The lake has not been studied extensively, but it is believed that the lake is at the intersection of two faults, which allows oil from a deep deposit to be forced up. Bacterial action on the asphalt at low pressures creates petroleum in asphalt. NOTES |
