Minerals form from crystallization of magma or lava, when they cool inside the crust or on the Earth's surface. Other methods involve the evaporation and precipitation of minerals.

Which rock is composed of the mineral halite that formed when seawater evaporated?
Evaporation of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.
what are chemical rocks formed by?
By precipitation or evaporation of saturated solutions.
What rocks can form from the evaporation of a solution?
Through either precipitation orevaporation, a chemical sedimentary rock can be formed.
What rock forms when mineral-rich water evaporates?
Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation from, or evaporation of, water that is saturated with dissolved minerals. In addition, most clastic sedimentary rocks are also formed from the cementing together of sediment particles by the precipitation of minerals from water.
Is limestone a sedimentary rock made from shells of sea animals?
It can be formed in this way, or it can be formed from calcite precipitation (mineral formation from saturated solution).

Is a puddle of water precipitation or evaporation?
The puddle is formed by precipitation or from an infltration.
How do you think the hardness and density of a minereal that formed through metamorphism would compare to a minereal that formed through evaporation?
Since a mineral formed through metamorphism has been crushed under high pressure and heated to a high temperature it should be much harder and more dense than a mineral formed through evaporation.
How does the water cycle travel through the atmosphere?
