evaporites or precipatates
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.
Dissolved minerals are usually in the form of ions. Therefore water that is free of dissolved minerals is called deionized water.
They are just called minerals.
Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.

A fossil formed in this way is called a petrified fossil. It occurs when minerals gradually replace the organic material in an organism's remains, creating a stone replica of the organism. This process is known as petrification.
Sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the deposition and cementation of materials like pieces of other rocks, plant and animal matter, or dissolved minerals, which accumulate over time and solidify into rock layers.
Rocks formed by the evaporation of water are called evaporites. Examples of evaporites include rock salt, gypsum, and sylvite. These rocks form as a result of the precipitation of minerals as the water evaporates, leaving behind the dissolved materials.
Minerals deposited by water are known as evaporites. These minerals are formed when water evaporates and leaves behind dissolved minerals that then precipitate out of the solution and accumulate. Examples of evaporite minerals include halite (salt), gypsum, and calcite.
The rock formed when dissolved minerals reform is called sedimentary rock, specifically a type known as chemical sedimentary rock. This occurs when minerals precipitate out of solution, often due to evaporation or changes in temperature and pressure, leading to the accumulation of mineral crystals. Examples include limestone and rock salt. These rocks can provide valuable insights into past environmental conditions.
It is called oxidation when dissolved oxygen reacts with minerals that contain metals. This process can lead to the formation of rust or other oxidation products on the surface of the minerals.
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.
