The genesis of the ring salt crust images of the Lop Nur salt lake, Xinjiang

The comparative study has been made for the climatic curves which represent the climatic changes during the past millennium in the Lop Nur salt lake and Northern Hemisphere, respectively on the basis of the remote-sensing images and climatic models and the genetic interpretation for the ring salt crust of the Lop Nur salt lake, Xinjiang. The ring salt crust images of the Lop Nur salt lake is interpreted to be caused by the modern sediments as a result of regular salt lake deposition due to the alterating warm and cold climatic changes during the transition of the salt lake from a modern salt lake to a playa.
