What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What is the type of sedimentary rock that forms by precipitation of minerals out of water?
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
The elements fluorine and chlorine can form minerals in what group?
These minerals are evaporites.
What rocks have carbonate in them?
Sedimentary rocks are usually divided into: siliciclastic rocks and carbonate rocks. Siliciclastics are usually composed of the weathering products of older rocks carried and delivered to a basin of deposition by rivers. Carbonate rock, however, are generally composed of carbonate minerals (e.g. Calcite, Dolomite, Anhydrite..) these minerals form either biologically (as skeletons of sea organisms such as foraminifera, rudists and corals) or chemically by sea water. The most famous carbonate rock is probably Limestone, other rocks include: Dolostone (aka Dolomite) and evaporites; interesting to note that Marble is metamorphosed limestone.
What is the mineral composition of evaporite?
Several minerals are evaporites, and therefore, there is not just one mineral composition but a different one for each mineral.
Do igneous rocks contain evaporites?
No. Evaporites are found in sedimentary rocks.
What kind of rocks do not have layers?
Igneous rocks, non-foliated metamorphic rocks, and evaporites do not have layers.
What rock forms from evaporation of water?
Chemical sedimentary rocks
What kind of rocks form from evaporated sea water?
These minerals are called evaporites.
What kind of rocks form when mineral rich water evaporates and from other chemical processes?
These minerals are called evaporites.
What rocks evaporate in water?
After water evaporation minerals called evaporites remain as residues: chlorides, carbonates, phosphates, etc.
What kind a of rock can be formed from evaporation?
Evaporites such as halite, gypsum, anhydrate and the evaporitic forms of carbonates such as calcite and dolomite which are all sedimentary rocks.
What is the type of sedimentary rock that forms by precipitation of minerals out of water?
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
How do minerals form from water evaporating?
first of all rocks don't evaporate. Second of all they turn into magma then when magma cools it turns into igneous rock
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
What has the author Vivian S Hall written?
Vivian S. Hall has written: 'Salt, evaporites, and brines' -- subject(s): Bibliography, Evaporites, Saline waters, Salt
Are sedimentary rocks formed because of water evaporating and leaving crystals behind?
Some sedimentary rock is formed this way; chemical sedimentary rock formed from evaporites, like rock salt, and rock gypsum.
