| 31. | Sulfur isotope data support the notion that evaporite deposits contribute part of Lascar's sulfur.
|
| 32. | The sediments indicate a restricted shallow marine environment with drying-up periods that created evaporites.
|
| 33. | The salt was formed after evaporation from the shallowest areas left layers of evaporites or salts.
|
| 34. | The salt springs result from the percolation of groundwater through Permian strata rich in evaporite minerals.
|
| 35. | The lake has probably generated the evaporite and lacustrine deposits that lie on the caldera floor.
|
| 36. | Halite and sylvite commonly form as evaporites, and can be dominant minerals in chemical sedimentary rocks.
|
| 37. | This process occurs widely in nature, and is the means of formation of the evaporite minerals.
|
| 38. | Finally the basin was below sea level and shallow marine carbonates were deposited followed by coastal evaporites.
|
| 39. | The thicker and denser portion applies much more pressure on the evaporite layer than the thin portion.
|
| 40. | Thick layers of evaporites are formed due to continuous water evaporation and fill of the rift basin.
