Halite (sodium chloride) is not a clastic mineral; it is an evaporite.
No, Silicate means containing Silica (Si). The formula for halite is NaCl, so it is non-silicate.
clastic
It is clastic
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
The chemical sedimentary rock will not be composed of cemented rock particles.
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl.
Clastic Sedimentary Rock- Sedimnetary rocks formed from fragments of rocks cemented together by minerals such as calcite.Chemical Sedimentary Rock- Sedimentary rocks formed from a solution of minerals (such as halite) and water.Organice Sedimentary Rocks- Sedimentary Rocks formed from the remaints of dead sea animals and seashells.
None of the above. These terms describe sedimentary rocks. Granite is igneous.
Halite is sodium chloride (NaCl).
It is none of these. Clastic, organic, and chemical are terms for classifying sedimentary rock. Rhyolite is igneous.
Travertine is a chemical sedimentary rock that is formed when calcite precipitates out of water and is deposited in layers. It is often seen in wet caves, forming a semi-translucent, pink-orange rock with a "flowing" appearance. When water runs through the limestone caves, it dissolves calcite. Later on, tiny amounts of the calcite are deposited when, for example, the water drips from the ceiling of the cave, forming stalactites and stalagmites.
