Scientists recently discovered the salt cycle, which, like the water and carbon cycles, involves the movement of salts through natural processes on Earth. Human activities such as mining, agriculture, and road deicing have significantly disrupted it, however, moving salts around faster and in greater quantities than natural processes can handle.
