	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Salt Flats of Lake ‘Asal
		Wide salt flats surround Djibouti’s Lake ‘Asal, the lowest point in Africa at 153 m (502 ft) below sea level.
		Extreme temperatures cause rapid evaporation from the lake and, as a result, the lake water is ten times saltier than seawater.
		The area around Lake ‘Asal is subject to volcanic activity and earthquakes.

		As there are no rivers flowing out of the lake, it is ten times saltier than the ocean and is the most saline body of water in the world.
		Lake Assal sits at the top of the Great Rift Valley in the Danakil Desert where summer temperatures sometimes reach 52°C and are accompanied by strong drying winds.
		To the right of the lake is a glistening white plain which was once part of the lake floor.

		AB: Because it is subaerial, the Asal rift in the Afar depression of Djibouti provides an exceptional opportunity to study the mechanics of active rifting.
		The exception is the segment boundary between the Salt Lake and Provo segments where range front ages suggest exhumation rates in the CIB have been greater by a factor of two or more than in the Provo segment to the south.
		However, although active faults extend 40 km from Lake Asal (NW) to the Ghoubbet (SE), only those in the northeastern, emerged part of the rift appear to be seismic in the last 20 years.
