The process of conversion of water into its vapor is called evaporation. The process of evaporation takes
place continuously wherever water is present. Where do you think salt comes from? Sea water contains
many salts mixed in it. One of these salts is the common salt. When sea water is allowed to stand in
shallow pits water gets heated by sunlight and slowly turns into water vapour, through evaporation. In a
few days the water evaporates completely leaving behind the solid salts. Common salt is then obtained
from this mixture of salts by further purification.
