What is a chemical rock formed by crystilization of excess dissolved materials?
This is known as an evaporite, examples include Halite, Gypsum and certain types of Limestone.
Describe how halite deposits form?
Halite is an evaporite mineral, meaning it forms as a result of evaporation from concentrated liquid solutions containing dissolved minerals.
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
Which mineral can form when a large pool of seawater slowly evaporates?
It will depend in what is in the water, in general it will be the solids that have been dissolved, but they will come out as crystals if evaporated slowly. in general it will be salt and/or limescale (calcium carbonate) as they are easily soluble
Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?
Halite is rock salt. Even some fresh water lakes have Na+ and Cl- dissolved in them, so I would guess that yes, some halite forms. But probably not all that much compared to a salt lake evaporating.

Why is the limestone cave sometimes called the soultion cave?
Limestone caves are sometimes called solution caves because they are formed through a process called solution weathering. This occurs when water containing carbon dioxide dissolves the limestone rock, creating cave systems over time. The dissolved limestone is carried away in the form of a solution, hence the term "solution cave."
A mineral that is easily dissolved and carried off in solution is?
halite
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
What sedimentary rock is made from solution of dissolved minerals and water?
Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.

How are stalacite formed?
Precipitation and crystallisation of calcite (calcium carbonate) from the ground-water that has dissolved it from the limestone above the cave.
What are formed when limestone found in the Earth has been eaten away?
Dissolution features such as dolines and sink holes as well as caves are common when limestone wihin the earth is dissolved.

Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.
Is limestone an organic and chemical sedimentary rock?
Limestone made from shells would be an organic sedimentary rock.
