Abstract

Dallol area is located in Afar region of northeastern Ethiopia. From west to east, the
geology of the area is characterized by: i) Neoproterozoic metavolcanics and
metasediments, ii) Quaternary alluvial fan deposits and red beds, iii) a transitional zone of
mud and salt mixture, and iv) evaporites, which consist of rock salt (commonly halite and
potash) and sulfur/sulfides.
