Salt: The Rock That Flows · Frontiers for Young Minds

Abstract. Salt is a substance with many uses, including as a condiment for our food. Salt is also a rock, and it can be found underground in many places around the world. What makes rock salt fascinating is that, over hundreds to millions of years, it is a rock that flows! Over long periods of time, salt behaves a bit like honey—like a thick ...Web

What Is Rock Salt?

Most of the salt we use in cooking, both table salt and Kosher salt, is made by flooding underground salt deposits with freshwater, extracting the water and then evaporating it to leave the pure salt crystals behind.
