盐湖城位于美国什么地方
盐湖城位于美国西部，属美国西部内陆高原。
盐湖城位于美国西部，犹他州北部，是美国犹他州的首府和最大城市。地处北纬41度、西经111度，属美国西部内陆高原。
盐湖城地处瓦萨奇山前区大市区，并且在2003年为止Ogden-Clearfield都会区是盐湖城的一部份。城市位于一个山谷的北端，海拔1,320m。周围的高山海拔达到3,582m。
扩展资料：
盐湖城属于典型的高原气候地区，紫外线辐射力强，四季气候十分分明。
在冬季从阿拉斯加海湾产生的暴风雪会向东南移动至盐湖城区域。 城市附近的大盐湖平均每年会影响盐湖城发生6至8次的大湖效应。
大湖效应常会发生在秋季中期至冬季中期，有时候会造成局部地区的降雪过量。大湖效应也会影响一些暴风雨的产生，盐湖城每年大约有10%的降水量是由大湖效应所贡献的。
在冬季中期，强烈的高压系统常常位于大盆地。这常常使得城市所在的山谷会有数天甚至数周笼罩在强烈的逆温反应而带来雾、霾以及带来污染物。
这也多少会对居民健康造成一些危害。盐湖城平均有26天的最高气温低于0°C。记录的最低温度是-34°C（1933年2月9日）。
在春季许多来自于太平洋的鳯梨快递现象而产生的风暴为盐湖城带来许多水汽。 春季是盐湖城最潮湿的季节，而且时常有规模更大、温度更低的风暴带来许多夜晚的降雪。通常大约在3月18日之前都还会一直有一定规模的降雪。
该市的夏季干热。雨季从7月中旬到9月开始，会产生局部而且强烈的雷暴。由于湿度低的关系，干燥但不带雨势的雷击常伴随着森林火灾方面的问题。
在季风较弱的年份，可能会带来一些强大的大雷雨、偶发的龙卷风、过量的降雨以及造成淹水。在夏季许多市民逃到东面48千米的山上去避暑，那里气温比城里低6°C。
在10月，太平洋再次活跃起来，带来更多暴雨，其中转弱为低气压热带风暴，但这些暴雨通常不会比春季的雨势更大。
通常在11月初出现第一次降雪，不过亦曾在9月上旬发生。降雪的多寡主宰了12月的降水量。在一年之中，秋季的气温变化是最大的，平均温度大约是50°F (10°C)。

美国大盐湖的介绍
美国大盐湖位于美国西部内华达山和瓦萨启山之间的盆地中，行政区属于犹他州，该湖距州府盐湖城40km。地理坐标为西经112º-113º15’，北纬40º30－41º41’。
大盐湖形成于14500后前，古时称为Bonneville湖，是一个巨型咸水湖，目前的大盐湖位于古湖的东北部，为Bonneville古湖残留水体，目前大约仅有Bonneville湖面积的十分之一。近代该湖平均水面为3885平方公里，最高水位差值为1000平方公里。湖水平均海拔高度1281m，最低水位年为1963年，为1278.25m，高低水位差值为6.65m。
大盐湖是北美洲最大的内陆盐湖，西半球最大咸水湖。位于美国犹他州西北部，东面是洛基山，西面是沙漠，大盐湖为更新世大冰期大盆地内大淡水湖的残迹湖。大盐湖干燥的自然环境与著名的死海相似，湖水的化学特征与海水相同。历史上湖的面积变化极大。
美国盐湖城举办冬奥会的条件
如下
一、盐湖城冬奥会简介
（一）时间：2002年2月8日—24日
（二）地点：盐湖城及附近的奥格登、帕克城、希伯城、普罗沃、西瓦利城
（三）主办单位：2002年盐湖城第19届冬奥会组委会（简称SLOC）
（四）会徽和吉祥物
1.会徽
1997年8月29日，设计独特的盐湖城冬奥会会徽展示在世人面前。图形的黄色、橙色和蓝色是勇敢和活力的象征，这几种色彩使人们联想到犹他州的景色。图形下方是“SaltLake2002（盐湖城2002）”。
主题由对比、文化和勇气三部分组成。对比是犹他州景色的象征-从荒芜人烟的沙漠到白雪皑皑的大山；文化体现了多元文化的融合，构成了该地区独特的美国文化风格；勇气代表运动员精神-奥运会的主体。
2.吉祥物
盐湖城冬奥会的吉祥物是雪靴兔、北美草原小狼和美洲黑熊，这三种毛绒绒的小动物的名字分别叫“雪（Powder）”、“铜（Copper）”和“煤（Coal）”。这三种小动物在美国西部印地安神话中深受喜爱，它们象犹他州的白雪、铜业和煤矿那样给当地带来滚滚财源。组委会主席罗姆内说，这三个吉祥物代表了犹他州这片土地和文化。
跪求美国犹他州大盐湖的英文介绍
The Great Salt Lake and its islands provide outstanding scenery and recreational opportunities in northern Utah. Sunsets over the lake can be breathtaking. Amazing red, orange, lavender and magenta hues slowly dissolve in the evening sky. The lake’s turquoise waters attract sailors, its white sand beaches are popular with swimmers and sunbathers, and craggy outcroppings on Antelope Island and some shoreline areas draw hikers and mountain bikers.
The Great Salt Lake is one of the most asked-about tourist destinations in Utah. A remnant of the massive ancient Lake Bonneville, the lake is now landlocked and its waters are salty. It is the largest lake between the Great Lakes and the Pacific Ocean, and is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Legends abound about the lake. Early explorers thought the lake was an inland extension of the Pacific Ocean, or that a river connected the lake to the ocean. Some Indians and early settlers thought the lake was inhabited by a terrible monster with an enormous head. The lake and its legends are an intriguing part of Utah’s landscape and history.
Recreation
Excellent views of the lake are available from:
Ensign Peak on the north edge of Salt Lake City
Bench areas in the cities of Bountiful, Centerville and Farmington
Trails on Antelope Island
Interstate 80 along the lake’s south shoreline
Swimming and sunbathing are popular on the clean, white sand beaches at Antelope Island State Park. The salinity of the water averages about 12%, making it much saltier than the ocean. The water is so buoyant that people can easily float. Freshwater showers are available to rinse off after swimming.
Sailing is very popular on the lake and full-service marinas are available at Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake State Marina on the south shore. On overcast days, the horizon on the lake blends into the sky and the landscape takes on a surreal look: skimming sailboats and the lake’s distant islands appear to float midair. However, the lake is shallow (average depth about 20 feet) and even moderate winds can cause rough water. Experience is needed to navigate the lake. Powerboats can also operate on the lake. Motors not rated for saltwater need to be flushed carefully after use. Many people also kayak on the lake.
Wildlife is abundant on Antelope Island and in the lake’s shoreline marshes. Bison, antelope, deer, bobcats, coyotes, and elk roam freely on the island and are often seen by visitors. Bird watching is popular at many spots around the lake, including the federally managed Bear River Bird Refuge and the state’s Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. The lake’s marshes attract large numbers of migratory birds. Duck and goose hunting is allowed in some areas and is usually very good.
Kayaking on the Great Salt Lake is a great way to see some of the areas that you normally wouldn’t see. With 10,000 miles of shoreline it can be one of the most rewarding places to paddle in North America.
Mountain biking is popular on excellent trails on Antelope and Stansbury islands. These areas also offer excellent hiking.
Antelope Island also offers excellent facilities for picnicking and camping.
Fish live in the freshwater marshes and inlets, but no fish species can survive in the lake’s salty water. Unique brine shrimp thrive in the lake; they are harvested and processed into fish food. Brine flies live on the lake’s shorelines and can be annoying. They don’t bite but often swarm around humans. Antelope Island beaches are relatively free of brine flies. Winds coming off the lake can carry a “lake stench“ at some times of the year. Again, the odor is usually not a problem at Antelope Island.
History
The Great Salt Lake is actually the remainder of prehistoric Lake Bonneville, which covered some 20,000 square miles of land in what is now Utah, Nevada and Idaho some 10,000 to 30,000 years ago. The present lake is about 75 miles long and 35 miles wide, with a maximum depth of 33 feet. After a series of wet years, the lake’s surface area may be much larger but it will be only a little bit deeper.
Water levels in the lake are far from constant. During its recorded low in 1963, some of the lake’s 10 major islands became peninsulas. In 1983, when the lake reached its historic high, it flooded houses, farmland and the nearby freeway. Huge pumps were constructed to deposit excess water into Utah’s west desert. The pumps were shut down in 1989.
Four rivers and numerous streams empty into the Great Salt Lake, carrying dissolved minerals. The lake has no outlet so these minerals are trapped. Continual evaporation concentrates the minerals. Several businesses extract table salt and other chemicals from the lake water.
Park Information
There are two Utah State Parks on the Great Salt Lake: Antelope Island State Park and Great Salt Lake State Park. Antelope Island offers clean beaches, a visitor center, marina, historic ranch house, bison and camping. The Great Salt Lake Park offers a marina and historic Saltair (which was a thriving resort in the early 1900s).
Getting There
The Great Salt Lake is located north and west of Salt Lake City. To reach Antelope Island, drive north on I-15 to Syracuse, then west on U-127, following the signs. A causeway has been built to allow automobile access to the island. Great Salt Lake State Park/Saltair Beach is about 16 miles west of Salt Lake City, along I-80.
