Sea Salt Sea salt is mainly extracted in warm countries and regions such as France, Spain, Portugal, Hawaii or on the African continent. It is extracted from salt water in salt gardens. Seawater contains approximately 35g salt per liter. The sea water is channeled into pools for extraction. Here the water...

The conceptual breakthroughs in understanding salt tectonics can be recognized by reviewing the history of salt tectonics, which divides naturally into three parts: the pioneering era, the fluid era, and the brittle era. The pioneering era (1856-1933) featured the search for a general hypothesis of salt diapirism, initially dominated by...
• Chemistry: NaCl, Sodium Chloride • Class: Halides • Uses: Major source of salt and as mineral specimens. • Specimens Halite, better known as rock salt, can easily be distinguished by its taste. Since taste is an important property of salt, there is a right way to taste a specimen of halite (or...
