Sedimentary rock is formed by suspended solids dropping to the bottom and building layers that will compress down under the weight of water and go hard after the water source has disappeared, and the moisture has evaporated out of the silt left behind.

What removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock?

Evaporation removes water from sediment to form sedimentary rock. When water evaporates everything that was in the water dries out. The evaporation of water from sediment takes a very long time to form sedimentary rock.

Describe how a rock can form from evaporation?

A rock forms from evaporation when dissolved minerals in water are left behind as the water evaporates, leading to the accumulation of mineral deposits. Over time, these deposits can compact and harden, forming a solid rock-like structure such as halite (rock salt) or gypsum.


Why are three rocks that form from precipitation or evaporation?

Three rocks that form from precipitation or evaporation include limestone, rock salt, and gypsum. Limestone is formed from the accumulation of calcite precipitated from water. Rock salt is formed by the evaporation of salty water, leaving behind salt crystals. Gypsum forms when water evaporates from a mixture of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen.

What is an example of an abstraction?

In evaporation, the process of changing a liquid into a gas, removes some or all of the liquid which is given off in the form of vapor.An example is the extraction (abstraction) of salt from sea water using evaporation ponds.
