In the fall, when the surface of the playas is dry and unprotected it often becomes a powdery mass from which the winds carry away large quantities. Sometimes the air is so filled with dry soda salts that from a distance of 4 or 5 miles it seems filled with white smoke and steam from a great fire. When in the fall the wind blows 40 to 60 miles an hour, the alkali dust rises 50 to 100 feet above every alkali playa.

The source of these salts was formerly believed to be in springs which fed the lake, but Knight's extensive study indicates that it is all supplied by leaching from the neighboring strata. These are the Triassic and Tertiary strata (more rarely the Cretacic) which are older continental beds, the former especially being an ancient desert deposit. These salts exist in a more or less diffused condition in these rocks, having been originally derived from decomposition of the igneous rocks. No extensive beds of these salts are, however, known in these older sediments. Soda Lake, California.--In southeastern San Luis Obispo County, California, between high parallel mountain ranges, lies the flat-bottomed desert valley known as the Carrizo plain, which with an average width of 4 to 5 miles has an elevation ranging from 1,910 to 2,000 feet.
