Halite is the mineral that we call table salt and is formed by the evaporation of fluids that are saturated in the elements that salt is made of, specifically sodium and chlorine.
What else can I help you with?
A chemically formed sedimentary rock composed of halite should be identified as?
Halite is a mineral composed of sodium chloride and is commonly known as rock salt. Therefore, a chemically formed sedimentary rock composed of halite would be identified as rock salt or halite rock.
Which rock is composed of the mineral halite that formed when seawater evaporated?
Evaporation of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.
What rock can be formed by evaporation?
Gypsum. Also consider Halite.
What 3 minerals are formed by evaperation?
Sulfur,Halite,Gypsum.....
What rock is formed mostly by sodium chloride?
This is the mineral (not rock) halite.
What in geology is the name of a diaper structure formed by evaporate minerals such as halite?
The name of the diaper structure formed by evaporate minerals like halite is called a salt dome. Salt domes are created when thick layers of halite are forced upward due to pressure from the surrounding rock layers.
How do you suppose a halite is crystals formed?
Halite crystals are formed by evaporation from solution. To try this at home, boil some water, add salt until no more will dissolve, and let cool. Crystal growing is fun!
When were halite deposits in the us formed?
Halite deposits have been formed all through the ages. There are still halite deposits being formed anywhere there is salt water. Near Carlsbad, NM and in Kansas there are halites that formed 250-225 million years ago. Michigan has salt deposits that are 440-350 million years old. Salt is still being evaporated out of water. It depends on the location as to the age of the salt deposit.
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
What minerals form from evaporation?
Gypsum and Halite are both formed from the body of salt-water.
How the mineral halite and talc are formed in nature?
they form with a solid and metamorphic rock slowly
What mineral has a common name with salt?
The mineral formed from sodium chloride is called halite.
