Os depósitos lacustres de ambiente desérEco acumulados em fundos de lagoas ou lagos
efémeros, normalmente alimentados por uma drenagem essencialmente centrípeta,
proveniente das regiões montanhosas circundantes. Os sí?os (ou bacias) de retenção de
água cons?tuem depressões muito rasas, comumente formados por deflação eólica e mais
raramente por aba?mento tectónico (ou subsidência tectónica). Quando a área é
completamente ressecada, formam-se depósitos cimentados por vários ?pos de sais
(evaporitos). As estruturas sedimentares bpicas de "sabkha” são laminações paralelas de
silte e argila com intercalações de leitos arenosos quartzosos e gipsíEcos
Great Salt Lake Desert (Utah, USA)

Great Salt Lake contributes an es?mated $1.3 billion annually to Utah's economy,
including $1.1 billion from industry (primarily mineral extrac?on), $136 million
from recrea?on, and $57 million from the harvest of brine shrimp.[61]
Solar evaporaEon ponds at the edges of the lake produce salts and brine (water
with high salt quan?ty). Minerals extracted from the lake include: sodium chloride
(common salt), used in water soueners, salt lick blocks for livestock, and to melt
ice on local roadways (food-grade salt is not produced from the lake, as it would
require further costly processing to ensure its purity); potassium sulfate, used as a
commercial fer?lizer; and magnesium-chloride brine, used in the produc?on of
magnesium metal, chlorine gas, and as a dust suppressant. US Magnesium
operates a plant on the southwest shore of the lake, which produces 14% of the
worldwide supply of magnesium, more than any other North American
magnesium opera?on. Mineral-extrac?on companies opera?ng on the lake pay
royal?es on their products to the State of Utah, which owns the lake.

Aspecto geológico, de uma formação evaporí?ca.
CasEle FormaEon, a Permian evaporite formaEon
south of the Guadalupe Mountains (Texas, USA)
The strata of the CasEle FormaEon are gypsum/anhydrite (the white layers) and organic-rich limestone
(the dark layers). They are thought to represent changes in the salinity of the basin in which the strata
were deposited (the Delaware Basin). The regular periodicity of the alterna?on of sediment type
suggests some sort of rhythmic influence on the salinity of the basin, and many workers interpreted
theses black and white layers as varves – seasonal deposits.
