Salt flats

A playa; also known as an alkali flat, sabkha, or salt flat; is a dry lakebed, generally the shore of, or a remnant of, an endorheic lake. Such flats consist of fine-grained sediments infused with alkali salts. Their surface is generally very dry, hard and smooth in the summer months, but wet and very soft in the winter months. While the playa itself will be devoid of vegetation, they are commonly ringed by shadscale, saltbrush and other salt-tolerant plants that provide critical winter fodder for livestock and other herbivores.
Another type of playa is a salina. They are very rare, with only 3 on Earth. A salina flat occurs below sea level, behind a rocky, non-porous beach that salt water can easily penetrate through to mix with fresh water from the ground or other sources.
Many playas contain shallow lakes in the winter, especially during wet years. If the layer of water is thin and is moved around the playa by the wind, an exceedingly hard and smooth surface can develop. Thicker layers of water can result in a "cracked-mud" surface and "teepee" structure desiccation features. Very little water can result in dune formation.
The extremely flat, smooth, and hard surfaces of playas make them ideal surfaces for motor vehicles. Large-sized playas are further excellent spots for pursuing land speed records, as the smoothness of the surface allows low-clearance vehicles to travel very fast without risk of disruption by surface irregularities, and the course of travel does not need to be too precise to avoid obstacles. The playas at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and Black Rock Desert in Nevada have both been used for setting land speed records.
Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, near Potosν, is the largest salt flat in the world at 4,085 square miles (10,582 square km), which is about 25 times bigger than the Bonneville Salt Flats.
