Which of the following is the best description of Salt Solution Mining?
Water is pumped underground into salt mines where it creates brine. This solution is pumped back up to the surface, where the solution can be used in the chemical industry or for food preservation.
Water is pumped out from the sea into large containers. The water is allowed to evaporate which leaves the salt behind for use in the chemical industry or for food preservation.
Water is pumped underground into salt mines where it creates brine. This solution is collected by large machinery and taken to the surface where the solution can be used in the chemical industry or for food preservation.
Water is pumped underground into salt mines where it creates brine. This solution is pumped back up to the surface, where the solution can be used to clear icy roads during winter.
