Physical description-The rock is a hard mineral and is mostly made of NACL which is are chemicals.Na is sodium and Cl is chloride. It is mined in solid layers and is called rock salt there is alot of differnt things salt is called when it is found like sea salt and solar salt. Salt is used for alot of things like preserving food and humans and animals need it in their bodys to survive.People in the past have been paid in salt in fact before the word salt was part of latin and was for salary.But now it is most commonly known as table salt.
