Salt is obtained from sea water by _________.

Open in App

Solution

The process of conversion of water into water vapor is known as evaporation.
Seawater is trapped in large, shallow pools and leave it for a period of time. The sun’s heat evaporates the water slowly, and salt is left behind.
Hence, salt is obtained from seawater by evaporation.
