Solution

Understanding evaporation:
Evaporation is an endothermic process in which water absorbs heat energy from the surroundings and gets converted into vapour.
A large amount of seawater is stored in a dig of large surface area made in the sand and allowed to evaporate by absorbing solar energy.
Water is evaporated and the sea salts remain in the dig.
