Exposed sheets of this substance can flow by open-toed, or extrusive advance, and buried ones can flow via thrusting advance. Its incompressibility and high ductility allow it to upwell and breach the surface, where it forms namesake glaciers.  Diapirism in this substance forms namesake (*) domes and can create an effective petroleum trap. Evaporation of water on a smooth landscape creates their namesake flats. Temperature and concentration of this material affect the density of ocean water and drive thermohaline circulation. For 10 points, name this mineral which is mostly composed of sodium chloride.
