, Part of
Evaporites -
Form as the
water in the
original
solution
evaporates
and leaves the
sediment (in
this case, salt)
behind
- Chemical

Forms in
desert
conditions in
shallow marine
basins, or
along coastal
tidal flats
Steno's Laws of Stratigraphy
Give this one a try later!
The four laws are the law of superposition, law of original horizontality, law
of cross-cutting relationships, and law of lateral continuity
