What is rock salt made from the evaporation of seawater?
Chemical sedimentary rock is created by precipitation of minerals out of, or evaporation from, saturated solutions that are high in dissolved minerals. Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples.
When chemical weathering breaks down rocks into dissolved ions in solutions what will result from direct precipitation of the dissolved minerals?
A crystalline precipitate such as salt or gypsum. Another example is how you make rock candy.

What can scratch gypsum but can be scratched by all other minerals?
The human fingernail can just scratch gypsum, but is softer than all other minerals.
Why is calcite always found at the bottom of an evaporite?
Calcite would be more plentiful in a body of water and therefore would reach maximum concentrations and precipitate before less plentiful minerals like gypsum and halite.
What type of rock can can form by evaporation?
Rocks composed of evaporite minerals, such as halite and gypsum, are rocks formed by evaporation of fluids.
What minerals form from evaporation?
Gypsum and Halite are both formed from the body of salt-water.
