In several ways.
They can pump seawater into evaporation troughs.
They can drill holes in salt deposits and pump in water, let the water dissolve the salt then pump the brine into evaporation troughs.
They can also mine the salt like any other mineral would be.

Does a saltwater solution form when a solid dissolves in a gas?
A saltwater solution forms when salt is dissolved in water. Solids do not dissolve in gasses, though they can sometimes change from a solid state to a gaseous state in a process known as sublimation. This is not analogous to dissolving.
Could a mixture of salt and water also be called solution?
yes because salt and water make saltwater in a solution.
Is saltwater a solution element compound or heterogeneous mixture?
Salt water is a homogeneous solution, and a mixture.
How is the hot saltwater solution is classified?
Simple: a true solution of a salt in water or another solvent.
If you have a solution of saltwater. In this solution what is the solvent and what is the solute?
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
Is saltwater a solution or solute?
Saltwater is a solution because you can get fresh water and some salt and mix it and then you get saltwater.
In a saltwater solution the salt is?
Solute.
How could you remove the salt from a solution of salt and water?
freeze the saltwater solution
What would salt be in a saltwater solution?
It would be the solute.
How can you extract salt from saltwater?
Evaporation. Boil the saltwater, and collect the vapour. Condense it back to liquid - and the salt solids will be left behind in the original container.
Is saltwater a compound an element heterogeneous mixture or solution?
Salt water is a homogeneous solution, and a mixture.
Could a mixture of salt and water be called a solution?
yes because salt and water make saltwater in a solution.
Is water a saltwater solution?
No. Pure water is a compound, which is a pure substance. A saltwater solution is a mixture of water and salt, and is not a pure substance.
What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?
In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.

How can salt be separated from saltwater?
You boil the saltwater, collect the steam and have it cool back into water in a different container, and whats left after all the water has been boiled, is the salt.
