In Lake Eyre, research has shown that mechanical salt weathering is one of the fastest method of erosion in an arid environment as a result of saline material through continuous fluctuating lake levels. The abundance and accumulation of salt helps in the formation of pavements. Salt crystals play a strong role in mechanical weathering by breaking down stones through forming in the cracks and splitting apart the stones into smaller fragments. Research shows seven stages of the salt weathering process on desert pavements. First, involves the exposure
