Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.

Explain why stalactites and stalagmites are sedimentary rocks?
stalactites and stalagmites are sedimentary rock becausethey are made from sediment that as formed together. just like how igneous rock is formed by lava or magma that has cooled over time.
What do crystals and boiling water make?
the water evaporates leaving salt crystal
What is an igneous rock with small crystals?
If you're not looking for anything specific, any extrusive igneous rock will have smaller crystals, if any at all. This is because they cool quickly on the surface, leaving little time for crystals to form/grow.
What do you think would happen if a plant had no stomata?
If a plant did not have stomata on the bottom of its leaves, water and oxygen leaving the plant would not be regulated.
Is shales permeable?
No, Shale is not permeable. Because it is a clastic sedimentary rock rock having clay structure. And clay particles tend to form a sheet structure and align the sheets together leaving no space for fluid to pass through.
How is salt extracted from seawater?
If you leave the salt water in an evaporating basin the water will evaporate leaving you with big crystals of salt. To speed up the evaporating reaction you can heat it over a Bunsen Burner but your crystals of salt will the smaller.

How we can separate freshwater from saltwater?
The separation is done by evaporating the water off as a vapour leaving the salt crystals (and any sediment) behind. The water vapour is then condensed back into fresh water. The process is called desalination.
Why does a liquid cool down when its evaporating?
because when it evaporates it takes all the heat in the surroundings with it leaving a cooling effect on the surroundings around it.
What is the function of evaporation dish?
evaporating a solvent from a solution, leaving the solute behind.
Does water evaporating from a salt solution leaving more ordered crystals than existed in the water contradict the law of entropy?
No, salt crystalization doesn't defy the law of entropy. Whilst the salt crystals may appear more ordered to our pattern seeking human minds, in actual fact they have lost energy and are now in a less energetic solid state.
What is the function of evaporating flask?
An evaporating dish is a round container that is used to evaporate excess solvents, leaving a more concentrated solution. They are better than flasks because a flask allows some of the evaporated liquid to condense on the sides and flow back, slowing the process.
Why do you separate salt from water?
The salt solution is boiled until the water has evaporated away, leaving salt crystals behind.

the water evaporates leaving salt crystal

It was because of your leaving or it was because of you leaving?
It was because of your leaving.
What is an evaporating disk?
An evaporating disk is a disk that is used specifically for evaporation. It is made out of ceramic. It works by heating a liquid over a flame, the liquid evaporates and leaves a solid residue.
