Bonneville Salt Flats

Since 1935, the plain, which has a cementitious surface, has been used for speed records for racing vehicles.

Great Salt Lake

Great Salt Lake, the shallow, drainless salt lake west of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA; 1280 masl The area (2000-6000 km²) and the salt content (15-25%) are both seasonal and strongly fluctuating from year to year in step with changes in the supply of water and salts from especially the Jordan River in the south. The salt content, which in some years is as high as in the Dead Sea, makes the lake almost lifeless, but in combination with a hot and dry climate suitable for the extraction of salts from shallow evaporation basins. The lake and the surrounding plains of the Great Basin are remnants of a 300 m deep prehistoric lake, Lake Bonneville, which in the Late Glacial period covered an area of ​​over 50,000 km².

Great Salt Lake, are remnants of freshwater lakes from the last ice age. Apart from the mountains that receive the most precipitation, the area is characterized by sparse vegetation, which is dominated by drought- and salt-resistant plants. The mountains are used for grazing cattle and sheep, while irrigated fodder crops are cultivated in places on the plains. At Wheeler Peak in Nevada (3982 m), the Great Basin National Park was established in 1986, housing impressive limestone caves and over 3,000-year-old specimens of brush cone pine. The lowest point is the Death Valley burial ground in California (-86 m).

Zion National Park, a nature park with erosive landscapes on the Colorado Plateau in southwestern Utah, USA, created in 1919; 593 km². Central to the area is the up to 800 m deep gorge of Canyon Canyon, which is formed by the erosion of the Virgin River in the surrounding sedimentary rocks.
