    Many physical processes over ocean surface generate sea salt aerosols. One common cause is the bursting of air bubbles, which are entrained by the wind stress during the whitecap formation. Another is tearing of drops from wave tops. [19] The total sea salt flux from the ocean to the atmosphere is about 3300 Tg (3.3 billion tonnes) per year. [20]

    This results in a neutral (or slightly basic) salt lake instead. A good example is the Dead Sea, which is very rich in Mg 2+. In some soda lakes, inflow of Ca 2+ through subterranean seeps, can lead to localized precipitation. In Mono Lake, California and Lake Van, Turkey, such precipitation has formed columns of tufa rising above the lake surface.

    Under extreme drought conditions, the combined flow of fresh water from all of the San Joaquin river's tributaries is no longer sufficient to stem the brackish flows that come in from the bay on every tidal cycle. State officials have gone so far as to build levees across major saltwater in-flows in times of especially severe drought. [7]
