Reply to comment by crystalcastles13 in The ozone layer is on track to recover in the next 40 years, the United Nations says by ascendingthemountain

in one of my classes we were just talking about the evaporation of the Great Salt Lake and if it completely dries up the soil will most likely let off toxic chemicals that will make surrounding areas uninhabitable

Is it actually evaporation? I thought it was the runoff from neighboring areas that used to flow into the lake has been diverted and used as a water source for the growing population in the area

In the article is said that higher temps had caused evaporation, I’m sure there could be other causes as well but that was the only one named in this particular article.

It’s really sad.
