Due to plate movement

During the formation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Some seawater accumulates in low-lying areas

Many salt lakes and ponds were formed

Chaka Salt Lake is one of them.

Chaka Salt Lake is an inland lake

Smaller than Qinghai Lake

Very little annual rainfall

Plus the evaporation here is particularly strong

This formed a salt lake with a very high salt content.
