How does the mineral halite form?

In: Science [Edit categories]

Answer:

As the water evaporates, chunks of salt are leftover on the shores of the lake. The water levels can be extremely high in salt content, and a stick or stone placed in the water will become coated with a layer of Halite if allowed to form. Many of these inland lakes have already dried up, leaving over enormous salt deposits.
