sal-, sali-

A dome or anticlinal fold (inclining downward on both sides from a median line or axis, as a fold of rock strata) originating from a thick bed of salt up to five miles deep below the earth's surface.

The domes push their way up through more brittle overlying rocks, are roughly circular, and average up to one to two miles in diameter. The tops of these domes can be commercially mined for salt.

A solar pond that consists of three main layers; the top one is near ambient temperature and has low salt content, while the bottom one is very hot and salty and is lined with a dark-colored material.

The middle (gradient) zone acts as a transparent insulator, permitting sunlight to be trapped in the bottom layer (from which useful heat is withdrawn).

This middle layer, which increases in brine density with depth, counteracts the tendency of the warmer water below to rise to the surface and lose heat in the air.

A waste deposit of salts resulting from an industrial process; for example, aluminum manufacturing, that constitutes a hazardous waste.

A bored or driven well from which brine is obtained;.

Such wells were an early source of oil in the United States oil industry.
