  "term": "Playa",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An ephemeral, shallow lakebed or salt flat found in an arid or semi-arid basin with internal drainage. Following rainfall, the basin fills with a thin layer of water that subsequently evaporates, leaving behind a flat surface of fine-grained sediment and precipitated minerals. These features are also known as salt pans or sabkhas, and their surfaces are composed of clays, silts, and evaporite deposits like halite and gypsum.",
