Answer to Question 1

Answer: As the water evaporates, the solution becomes enriched with salt until the solution can hold no more. This process forces precipitation of the salt crystals. In the Persian Gulf, the high temperatures evaporate a great deal of water from the sea, leaving rock salt deposits behind.

Answer to Question 2

Answers: 1) C 2) A 3) D 4) B
