Compare and contrast the various types of depositional environments in which evaporite deposits form. How do these
deposits differ? Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Evaporite deposits may be formed in playa lakes and saline lakes in desert areas. However,
these deposits generally are relatively thin and small in areal extent. In contrast, silled
(barred) marine basins (see Fig. 3 in the Perspectives section of Chapter 6) commonly are the
site of deposition of thick evaporite deposits of salt and gypsum. In some cases, evaporation
of large seas that are closed to other oceans and seas may be responsible for thick marine
evaporite deposits.
