Do evaporites have a biochemical origin?
Evaporates do not have a biochemical origin. An evaporate is a mineral deposit that is left after a body of water evaporates.
What are examples of biochemical sedimentary rocks and evaporates?
Biochemical sedimentary rocks: limestone, coal, chalk. Evaporative chemical sedimentary rocks: rock salt, gypsum.
Is a limestone mafic?
No. The terms mafic and felsic apply to igneous rocks. Limestone is a sedimentary/biochemical rock and so cannot be said to be mafic, felsic, or intermediate.
Who proposed the biochemical theory of origin of life?
Alexander Ivanovich Oparin was a Soviet biochemist who, in 1924, put forward a coherent theory for the origin of life through gradually increasing sophistication of biochemical change in his book The Origin of Life.
What is the difference between fossiliferous limestone and oolitic limestone?
Fossiliferous limestone has larger fossils in the rock and is of biochemical composition where as the oolitic limestone doesn't have any fossils and has a chemical composition. The Oolitic limestone has spherical grains that resemble miniature pearls (they are called ooliths or ooids). Both do effervesce in diluted HCL(acid)
How are the origin of rock salt and some limestone similar?
how are the origins of rock salt and some limestone similar
Origin other details of lime stone with examples?
Limestones are chemical sedimentary rocks, also called carbonate rock as it is made up of the carbonate radical CO3, hense Calcite CaCO3 Limestone. Although some limestones form by inorganic chemical precipitation most limestones are biochemical because they are mostly composed by organisms. Examples of limestone include Coquina composed almost entirely of fragmented seashells and Chalk, composed largely of microscopic shells.
What isThe most abundant chemical Sedimentary rock?

What biochemical rock results from the accumulation of silicic shells of diatoms and radiolarians?
