摘要: The Earth currently contains a large number of underground salt formations significant size. These range in age from Jurassic (60,000,000 Million year [Ma]) to Cambrian (570,000,000 Ma). Most are Permian (230 — 280 Ma) (Javor 1989). Salt distributed across nearly every continent, with the largest northern hemisphere (Zharkov 1981)
