It starts in oceans, rivers, lakes, and even from the moisture in the soil. When the sun heats the earth, water slowly turns into vapor and rises into the sky. This process is called evaporation. High above, where the air is cooler, this vapor gathers and forms clouds. When these clouds become t...

Long ago, these places were lakes or seas. Over time, the water evaporated due to heat, leaving behind minerals—mostly salt. What remains is a flat, white surface that looks almost too perfect to be natural. The ground often...
