Salt Presence in nature



Salt exists in nature in several forms remind them of great importance and can be economically exploited.

1) solutions of salt (Salt Solutions): It is a solution like a normal sea water, oceans and salt lakes, springs and groundwater, and in these solutions have salt dissolved with some other salts of magnesium and vary the degree of concentration of salt in these solutions by his presence, for example, have more salt concentrated in the Mediterranean from the Atlantic Ocean and the Red Sea, more focused than Monday as a semi-closed Sea and the Dead Sea in Palestine more focused as the Sea of everyone closed from all sides, and the estimated size of the salt dissolved in the ocean water by about (4.5 million cubic miles)

2) layers of salt (Salt Beds): and be in the form of lenticular or residue Mttbakh thickness ranges from a few centimeters to hundreds of meters, and will always be mixed with sediments other Kaljbs and anhydrite with some potassium salts, and these layers spread all over the world within the range of sedimentary rock of ages different geological , and there are in Egypt in the eastern desert, western and these deposits have no economic importance in terms of exploitation that will be costly and heavy compared to the costs of extraction of salt from other sources.

3) salt domes (Salt Domes) and Almchterqat (Diapairs): These domes are located in Spain, Germany, Romania, Iran and the United States in a recent particularly important where it is one of the most important geological formations to work Lakes fisheries petroleum oil.
 4) deposits coastal marshes and internal (Salty Interior and Coastal )


Physical properties 

and chemical composition



  
We have salt in the nature of a body with mass and granular and crusty, and features that dissolves in water and Solved neutral and a melting point depends on the temperature of the solution At zero degrees Celsius melts (35.7 grams) than in (100 grams) of water, and in the temperature (100 ° C) it melts (39.12 grams) in the same size in any (100 grams) of water, also features in Boukasith melt snow and ice.
