Answer:

Water is transported from one area to another area that has little water. Water is collected and salt allowed to settle at the bottom.

Step-by-step explanation:

Desalination of water is a process of the removal of salts and minerals from the water. This process is used for the production of water suitable for human consumption or irrigation.

Natural desalination occurs trough the hydrologic cycle when seawater evaporates. On the other hand, manipulated desalinization is an energy expensive alternative to natural desalination.

Answer:

A. Water is heated until it evaporates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Traditionally, the best way of taking salt out of water has been through vacuum distillation. The salt water is enclosed at a low pressure to reduce its boiling point, making it easier to vaporize to separate the salt from the water.
