How is salts produced?

There are two types of salt used in Cooking, Rock Salt and Sea Salt. Rock salt is mined from veins in high Sodium areas of mountains which were formed over many years. The ancient Romans used salt mines and had prisoners do the mining since it was very dangerous work to one's health. Sea Salt is gathered by dehydrating salty areas on the coast of the Atlantic. The top layer of salt is refered to as Fleur de Sel and the next layer under is refered to as Sel Gris or Grey salt. Grey Salt has a higher level of minerals and in my opinion is the best to use in cooking.

Why is sea water left in salt pans under the sun to obtain salt from the sea water instead of being kept in drums in a cool place?

Because to get salt from sea water you want the water to evaporate and leave the salt behind. Setting pans out in the sun will make the water evaporate much faster than if it'd been left in drums somewhere cool. The water in the pans get a bigger exposed surface area and much warmer.
