How do most salt deposits form?

A) dense slurries of sediment and water along continental slopes
B) rapid deposition offshore of deltas, like in the Gulf of Mexico
C) evaporation of water, such as in restricted seaways
D) conversion of limestone to dolostone

Salt Deposits

Concentrations of salt left behind after the evaporation of saline water, typically found in arid environments or sedimentary basins.

Restricted Seaways

Narrow bodies of water that connect two larger bodies of water, often with limited water flow and unique ecological conditions.
