2)Most rift valley lakes experience intense evaporation leading to higher salt concentrations in the lake.
3)Most rift valley lakes are seated on salty rock masses which dissolve in the lake water.
4)Most rivers flowing into the rift valley lakes pass over salty bedrocks, dissolving them into the lakes.
5)Most rift valley lakes lack regular inflow of fresh water to dissolve salt deposits.
