Abstract
The karren formation of salt dome of Praid (Transylvania, Romania) was investigated. Different parameters of the karren features of the halite were measured along profiles. The rillenkarren and rinnenkarren were classified by using the measured data. The development of rillenkarren and rinnenkarren further more that of the Spitzkarren was presented. We explained the karren formation of the salt. It depends on the quantity of the water. The relationship between the quantity of the water and karren features was analysed. Using the development of karren formation we sketched the development of a salt slope.
