Description
Salt flats, also known as salt pans or salt deserts, are flat expanses of ground covered with salt and other minerals. They form in regions where the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate, often in arid or semi-arid climates. Here are some key points about salt flats:
Salt flats typically form in enclosed basins where water, often from rainfall or seasonal streams, collects but cannot drain. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind dissolved salts, gradually creating a flat, white expanse. Over time, these deposits accumulate, forming a thick crust of salt and minerals.
