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.
What are rocks that can form from the evaporation of a solution?

Is limonite an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Limonite is a recognized mineral by the IMA, although its chemical structure will vary. As a mineral, it is not classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic in the manner of rock identification
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
How are salt pans formed?
Mineral deposits hundreds of meters thick resulted as salt would form at the bottom of a pan of evaporated sea water.

What forms when groundwater that contains dissolved minerals cools or evaporates?
Mineral deposits are formed when ground water that contains dissolved minerals are cooled or has evaporated. Some of these mineral deposits are iron ions, magnesium, and calcium.
What type of rock is gypsum?
Gypsum is actually a major rock forming mineral. Rock gypsum is a chemical sedimentary rock.
Is a geode a rock?
A geode is a chemical sedimentary structure formed by mineral precipitation, similar to the way sedimentary cave structures are formed.
What kind of rocks are formed by percipitaion of a mineral?
The precipitation of minerals forms chemical sedimentary rocks. Examples include calcite deposits in vesicles in igneous rocks like pumice. The definition may be extended to include rocks formed by evaporation. Mineral Gypsum is formed this way.
What are chemical sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks can form when minerals in a body of water have so saturated the water that they precipitate out, like a cloud that is so full of moisture that it pours out rain. Some limestones are formed in this manner as the mineral calcite precipitates out of a saturated solution and undergoes the process of compaction and cementation. The supersaturated solutions can also be caused by evaporation of a body of water high in mineral content. As the water evaporates, the mineral percentage of the remaining solution becomes higher and higher, until the mineral crystallizes. Rocks such as rock salt and rock gypsum are formed in this manner. Sedimentation from precipitation and evaporation form rocks called chemical sedimentary rocks.

What is bauxite's mineral group?
Bauxite's chemical formula ends with Oxygen, (Al2O32H2O) making it an oxide.

A geode is a chemical sedimentary structure formed by mineral precipitation, similar to the way sedimentary cave structures are formed.
