The minerals and salts that evaporate include halite (NaCl), anhydrite (CaSO4), and gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O).

Here's why:

* Halite (rock salt) is a common salt that forms from the evaporation of seawater or saline lakes.

* Anhydrite is a calcium sulfate mineral that is also found in evaporite deposits.

* Gypsum is another calcium sulfate mineral that forms when anhydrite reacts with water.

These minerals are called evaporites because they form from the evaporation of water, leaving behind dissolved minerals. Other common evaporite minerals include:

* Sylvite (KCl)

* Carnallite (KMgCl3·6H2O)

* Kieserite (MgSO4·H2O)

* Polyhalite (K2Ca2Mg(SO4)4·2H2O)

These minerals are important resources for various industries, including:

* Salt production

* Construction materials (gypsum for plaster and drywall)

* Fertilizers (potassium salts)

* Chemical production
