    The bauxite is best developed from Nilawahn to Khura in the south of the Salt Range. In general the content of alumina and silica has inverse relationship from east to west. [1] Jhelum District: Bentonite: It is presently being extracted from Siwalik rocks found near Villages of Jalalpur Sharif and Dina in Jhelum District.

    The salt flats of Abu Dhabi are a typical example of this, with the evaporation of water occurring from the capillary fringe - a subsurface layer where groundwater seeps up from a water table - which intersects the surface. This activity has contributed to the creation of an expansive salt flat, covering approximately 36,000 square kilometers.

    A grit bin made from fibreglass. A grit bin, salt bin or sand bin is an item of street furniture, commonly found in countries where freezing temperatures and snowfall occur, which holds a mixture of salt and grit that is spread over roads if they have snow or ice on them.

    The salt flowed until it hit an obstruction in the basement rock. Seismic data of the area has been interpreted to suggest that normal faults in the basement rock acted as an obstruction for the salt to pile up against, building higher and higher topography until the salt overcame the obstruction at depth.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spall

    Salt spalling is a specific type of weathering which occurs in porous building materials, such as brick, natural stone, tiles and concrete. Dissolved salt is carried through the material in water and crystallizes inside the material near the surface as the water evaporates.

    The Salt Range is a hill system in the Punjab province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt. The range extends from the Jhelum River to the Indus, across the northern portion of the Punjab province.

  8. Salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinity

    Salinity (/ s ə ˈ l ɪ n ɪ t i /) is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity). It is usually measured in g/L or g/kg (grams of salt per liter/kilogram of water; the latter is dimensionless and equal to ‰).

  9. Soil salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity

    Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the salt content is known as salinization. [1] Salts occur naturally within soils and water. Salination can be caused by natural processes such as mineral weathering or by the gradual withdrawal of an ocean.
