Examples of sulfate in a Sentence

1. Pascal Lee:

   Water ice is, at present, not stable at the very surface of Mars near the equator at these elevations, so, it’s not surprising that we’re not detecting any water ice at the surface. It is possible that all the glacier’s water ice has sublimated away by now. But there’s also a chance that some of it might still be protected at shallow depth under the sulfate salts.

2. Luther Beegle:
