Give an example of an evaporite rock?
Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples of sedimentary evaporite rocks.
What is the type of sedimentary rock that forms by precipitation of minerals out of water?
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
What are the two main types of sedimentary rocks?
Clastic (those formed of particles of other rocks) and non-clastic (organic and chemical precipitate or evaporite rocks).
Distinguish between the two categories of chemical sedimentary rock?
One type of chemical sedimentary rock is oolite limestone, which precipitates inorganically. The other type is rocks that are composed of evaporite materials; rocks such as halite, sylvite, gypsum, and barite.
Which of the three types of sedimentary rocks forms when water in a shallow sea evaporates?
This statement cannot be answered. You will have to give me some choices to choose from in order to answer this.
Why is gypsum rock sedimentary?
First of all, Gypsum is a mineral, and Rock Gypsum is a rock, don't get them confused. Second of all, no they aren't. Rock Gypsum is a sedimentary rock, and an alternate name for it is Alabaster.
What is a diapir structure formed by evaporite minerals?
Evaporite minerals are minerals found in sedimentary rocks that are formed as precipitates from the evaporation of a saline solution. A diapir structure formed by evaporite minerals is a salt dome.
How is NaCl created?
Sodium chloride as a mineral (halite) has two origins: sedimentary or evaporite mineral.
Why are you likely to find fossils in evaporite sedimentary rocks but not in detrital sedimentaryor metamorphic rocks?
Yes
What is an example of a chemical sedimentary rock?
A calcitic stalactite.
Compare and contrast conglomerate and evaporite?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock composed of rounded gravel-sized particles, while evaporite is a sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of minerals that were dissolved in water. Conglomerate forms from the erosion and transportation of pre-existing rocks, while evaporite forms through the evaporation of water. Both rocks can contain a variety of minerals and can provide clues about the environment in which they formed.
What type of sedimentary rock is salt rock?
its a evaporite left behind from left over minerals from other rocks
