  2. Salt evaporation pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_evaporation_pond

    Salt evaporation pond. A salt evaporation pond is a shallow artificial salt pan designed to extract salts from sea water or other brines. The salt pans are shallow and expansive, allowing sunlight to penetrate and reach the seawater. Natural salt pans are formed through geologic processes, where evaporating water leaves behind salt deposits.

  3. Salt surface structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_surface_structures

    Lower image shows a cross section of a possible sub-surface structure. Salt surface structures are extensions of salt tectonics that form at the Earth's surface when either diapirs or salt sheets pierce through the overlying strata. They can occur in any location where there are salt deposits, namely in cratonic basins, synrift basins, passive ...

  4. Salt pan (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_pan_(geology)

    Salt pan (geology) Natural salt pans or salt flats are flat expanses of ground covered with salt and other minerals, usually shining white under the sun. They are found in deserts and are natural formations (unlike salt evaporation ponds, which are artificial). A salt pan forms by evaporation of a water pool, such as a lake or pond.

  5. Salt dome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_dome

    Salt dome. A salt dome is a type of structural dome formed when salt (or other evaporite minerals) intrudes into overlying rocks in a process known as diapirism. Salt domes can have unique surface and subsurface structures, and they can be discovered using techniques such as seismic reflection.

  6. San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Salt_Ponds

    San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds. The San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds are a roughly 16,500-acre (6,700 ha) part of the San Francisco Bay that have been used as salt evaporation ponds since the California Gold Rush era. Most of the ponds were once wetlands in the cities of Redwood City, Newark, and Hayward, and other parts of the bay.

  7. Body of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_water

    a small, discrete body of water held by some plants. Plunge pool: a depression at the base of a waterfall. Pool: various small bodies of water such as a swimming pool, reflecting pool, pond, or puddle. Pond: a body of water smaller than a lake, especially those of artificial origin. Port

  8. Salt tectonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_tectonics

    Salt tectonics. Salt tectonics, or halokinesis, or halotectonics, is concerned with the geometries and processes associated with the presence of significant thicknesses of evaporites containing rock salt within a stratigraphic sequence of rocks. This is due both to the low density of salt, which does not increase with burial, and its low strength.

  9. Vernal pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernal_pool

    Vernal pool. Vernal pools, also called vernal ponds or ephemeral pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals. They are considered to be a distinctive type of wetland usually devoid of fish, and thus allow the safe development of natal amphibian and insect species unable to withstand competition or ...
