Continental and Planetary Dynamics
A salar (or salt pan) with the Andes mountains in background. The white around the salar is salt; the salt occurs because the evaporation rate is much higher than precipitation rate. We believe that some of the salars are associated with subsidence during lithosphere removal. Photo by Claire Currie.
