What does the Great Salt Lake have to do with the civil war?
This is because the great salt lake was salty and the civil war was also salty:)
Why have the dead sea and the great salt lake become more salty?
salty water comes in, water evaporates, salt stays.
Why cant people drink salt water?
it is salt,random salt that humans cant drink.salt water can kill or sicken someone.saltwater is salty beacause over time the waves crash againstrocks which make salt!hope u like it!
Are there plankton in The Great Salt Lake?
Yes. Great Salt Lake is home to numerous types of phytoplankton which are microscopic photosynthetic organisms. There are diatoms, green algae, and cyanobacteria which have adapted to live in the hypersaline conditions present. The phytoplankton supports a large population of brine shrimp that feed on them which are then an important food source for millions of migratory birds!
How do the Great Lakes and the Great Salt Lakes differ?
The Great Lakes are a collection of five freshwater lakes, The Great Salt Lake is one saltwater lake. The Great Lakes are much larger than the Great Salt Lake. (The Great Lakes cover 80,545 square miles, the Great Salt Lake covers between 1,000 and 3,000 square miles, depending on the rainfall.)
Oxbow Lake Formation
An Oxbow Lake is a development of a meander, thanks to erosion and deposition. The neck/bend of the meander grows narrower and narrower and eventually the river just takes a shortcut of straight on ahead instead of going around the neck/bend. Soon the loop of the meander is sealed off altogether and it turns into an oxbow lake. In time the lake will get covered with weeds, fill with soil and will disappear.
If you doing this for work/school I suggest you use diagrams/pictures to show each stage.
Who explored to the Great Salt Lake and was the first American to enter Spanish California?

What water evolved in protists in hypertonic habitats such as Great Salt Lake?
In hypertonic habitats like the Great Salt Lake, protists have evolved mechanisms to manage osmotic stress, often developing specialized structures such as contractile vacuoles to expel excess salts and maintain water balance. Some protists may also synthesize compatible solutes, such as glycerol, to help stabilize cellular functions in high salinity environments. Additionally, certain species have adapted by altering their internal ion concentrations and utilizing cellular pathways that enhance osmoregulation. These adaptations allow them to thrive in extreme saline conditions where most organisms cannot survive.
