Answer:

Commercial salt is manufactured from rock salt, as well as from seawater and other natural and artificial brines.In solution mining, water is pumped into the underground rock salt deposits to create brine that is then pumped back out to the surface. The brine is then evaporated in huge evaporating vessels to make the familiar white salt. This salt can be used in industry, by food manufacturers and, of course, at the table.
