What are the two main methods of obtaining vapor from sea water?

The two main methods of obtaining vapor from seawater are distillation and evaporation. Distillation involves heating seawater to create steam, which is then condensed back into liquid form, leaving salts and impurities behind. Evaporation relies on natural or artificial means to increase the temperature and reduce pressure, allowing water to vaporize and be collected. Both methods are commonly used in desalination processes to produce freshwater.
