Salt lake refers to a lake with high salt content. The salinity of fresh water lake is less than 1g/L, salt lake is more than 1g/L, and salt lake is more than 35g/L. Salt lake is the product of the later development of the lake. It is rich in all kinds of salt resources and is a very important mineral resource. The formation of Chaerhan Salt Lake First of all, due to less precipitation, very strong sunshine, windy weather and large evaporation, high-concentration brine is formed in the lake, and salt is easy to accumulate in the lake; Moreover, the weathering is strong, and the mineral salt content in the rock is large, so it is easy to be transported by running water after weathering; In addition, because the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau once led to land and sea changes, Qaidam became a basin, so the terrain around the salt lake is low, surrounded by mountains, and flowing water is easy to converge to form a salt lake.
