5 imagine that heavy rain soaks the salt pans in the video. what effect will this have on the piles of salt?

Explanation:

Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid. Filtration is a method of separating solids from liquids. Dissolving is when a solute mixes with a solvent. Crystallization is the process where a solid forms from a liquid solution. Sea salt forms from liquid ocean water through crystallization as the water evaporates and the salt precipitates out.
