Can saltwater evaporate?

Answer 1

ofcourse salt water can evaporate.

as salt is dissolved in the water so when we heat the the water evaporates we can salt below

Well, strictly speaking, no - salt water can't evaporate. However, the water fraction of it can, and often does, but then the salt (Sodium Chloride, NaCl), is left behind. A look at the Utah salt flats shows what it looks like when it's left. This can happen when a large inland sea is then cut off from the sea, and the water is evaporated over time, leaving behind a salt lake. These can then become buried by sediment and become a certain type of rock called "evaporites", so called because the water evaporated and left a mineral 'deposit'.

Alot of the water vapour in the atmosphere is evaporated sea water, and if you watch the evolution of a hurricane for instance, you will see that the system builds over water as it collects water vapour, then dissipates over land.
