Stora Saltsjön (engelska: Great Salt Lake) är en endorheisk (avloppslös) insjö i Utah, nära delstatens huvudstad Salt Lake City.

Storleken på sjöns yta varierar starkt, men i genomsnitt har den varit ca 4 400 kvadratkilometer. Det motsvarar en yta något mindre än Vänern. Stora Saltsjön är världens 37:e största insjö och en av världens största saltsjöar. Ytan ligger omkring 1 280 meter över havet. Största djupet vid medelvattenstånd är endast cirka tio meter, medan medeldjupet är cirka fyra meter. Salthalten varierar mellan cirka 5 och 27 procent, beroende på vattenståndet, och sjön har även kallats ”Amerikas Döda hav”.[1]

Stora Saltsjön är hotad.[2][3] År 2022, efter år av ihållande torka, hade sjön förlorat 73% av sitt vatten och 60% av sin yta.[4] När vattennivån sjunker, blottas den giftiga botten, vilket förgiftar luften runt Salt Lake City.[5][6]

Sliver (textiles)

Bundle or web of fiber used to spin yarn A sliver (/ˈslaɪvər/) is a long bundle of fibre that is generally used to spin yarn. A sliver is created by carding or combing the fibre, which is then drawn into long strips where the fibre is parallel.[1] When sliver is drawn further and given a slight twist, it becomes roving.[2][3] Worsted textiles differ from woolen textiles in that, after carding, they are subjected to gilling, a process to make sure the sliver has a mo...
