Salt lakes
Salt lakes/Soda lakes Definition Salt lakes are naturally occurring highly alkaline aquatic bodies, widely spread throughout the world. Salt lakes are ecosystem with extremely high pH (up to 11) and salinity (up to saturation) due to the presence of high concentrations of sodium carbonate. Salt lakes, located in Kenya and Tanzania (Bogoria, Magadi, Natron), in Egypt (Wadi Natrun), and California (Mono Lake) are good example of typical salt lakes. Another area abundant in saline alkaline lakes is Central Asia (south Siberia and north-east China). Here the lakes are much smaller, more shallow, and water regimen is unstable due to freezing winter period which cause fluctuations of the water salinity and temperature. There are so many salt lakes and salt deserts around the world. Some of them are listed below. source: https://d-nb.info/968508480/34 Formation of Salt Lakes One of the theory suggest that rocks...
