The Sea of Salt

March 5, 2008 - 16,567 views

Located in southwestern Bolivia, The Salar de Uyuni is the place where you can find the biggest salt concentration on Earth. Once a salty lake, the water has now gone from the location leaving the ground bleached and covered in a white dust.

    Those are very beautiful photos, Reminds me of the salt fields in South Australia we have Pink Salt here, along the Murray river.

    Why would your car rust, rust is caused by oxygen or water, not saltsbesides the salts on the ground not in the air.

    salt increases oxidation by changing the point of equilibruim, and theres plenty of oxygen in the air to carry out the reaction

    Yes I have to agree with salt accelerating the reaction. Just live through a few winters in the Midwest United States. The salt they put on the roads when it snows will tear up a vehicle quickly.

    Go back to 4chan jerry. k thanks.

    Also, wheels of a car will kick up plenty of salt into the under carriage, no need for it to be “in the air”
