Answer: hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

"Evaporated into thin air" is an hyperbole. It simply means that something has completely vanished or in a situation whereby nobody knows the whereabout of someone or a particular thing.

For example, "The book on my table has evaporated into thin air" simply means that the book was on my table but now, I don't know where it is as it can't be found.
