freshwater spring meets the carbonates in and the nesting ground for California
the lakes salt water, a calcium carbonate
deposit precipitates our and solidifies over Gulls. Paoha is the flat white island
the years into rocky towers. which has hot spring vents.

15. Former Shoelines, you tell by Tufas are now exposed as to
the different vegitation and not once being underwater.

the salt, stata exsits here too.
