Obviously I have done it in the laboratory when preparing salts. I have also seen it when hard water is allowed to dry on glassware or cutlery.

What is left behind when water evaporates?
Salt
What happens to salt water when it is evaporated?
the water evaporates and then it leaves the salt behind
How does salt water evaporate?

Why doesn't it rain salt water?
It doesn't rain salt water because the salt stays behind when water evaporates.
When ground water evaporates in the desert it can leave behind what?
Ground water can leave behind dissolved salts when it evaporates. As these salts accumulate they can have a very negative effect on desert plants or agriculture.
When irrigation from sea water evaporates quickly what does it leave behind?
The residues are formed from salts.
When mineral rich water evaporates it leaves behind?
A residue formed from salts remain.
When water evaporates from a body of water what kind of sediment is left behind?

Why is rain fresh water?
Rain results from water that evaporates and then later cools and condenses back into a liquid. Water is a volatile substance, meaning it evaporates easily. Many of the substances dissolves in water, such as salts, are not volatile and so get left behind when the water evaporates.
How did the climate contribute to making the soils of Mesopotamia salty?
In the dry climate, water evaporates rapidly leaving salts behind.
How does irrigation damage farmland?
Irrigation water has dissolved salts and minerals. Those salts and minerals are left behind as the water evaporates. Soil that is high in salt is not favorable for growing most crops.
What two minerals may be left behind when a body of salt water evaporates?

How are salts deposit formed?
High tides flood the salt pans with sea water which evaporates to leave behind salt deposits. This is how salt deposits are formed.
How does evaporation effect the concentration of salts ocean water?
when water evaporates from a body of water that has some salt in it, only the water can evaporate away, meaning the salt is always left behind. over time, the salt concentrations increase slightly because the water cycles between rainfall and then evaporation
When mineral rich water evaporates?
These minerals are called evaporites.
