An evaporite is a water-soluble sedimentary mineral deposit caused by the concentration and crystallization that results when enough of the water solvent evaporates from an aqueous solution. Evaporites are formed by chemical sediments, crystallizing out as dissolved salts left behind as water evaporates.

The Salar was formed as a result of transformations of seven Late Pleistocene lakes whose progressive desiccation led to the accumulation of extensive evaporitic salt deposits.
