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.

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.
What is the rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemical behind?
sedimentary rocks
Describe the sequence of events in the formation of an evaporite?
This forms in bodies of water in which water evaporates faster than it is receiving rain. (This process is called precipitation) This causes the minerals in the water to be left behind, in which they become a rock. (An evaporite) examples of an evaporite is Gypsum.
How limestone can form when water evaporates and leaves behind the minerals that form it.limestone is a?
igneous rock
What does water do in hot rock below the surface of a volcano?
The water evaporates and emerges in a plume of very hot water vapour. An example is the geysers in Yellowstone Park, USA.
What kind of rock forms when sea water evaporates?
Sodium chloride and other chlorides remain as a residue.
What igneous rock forms sandstone?
the igneous rock that forms sandstone is halite this is because when the sea water evaporates it produces halite and the by-product of the production of halite is red stained sand stone.
What kind of rock is made when water evaporates?
sedimentary
What type of rock is salt?
Rock salt is not a rock...its just a salt that can be extracted from salty water especially from sea water.
How does sugar become rock candy?
sugar becomes rock candy when it is added with water. Once it is added with water you wait till the water evaporates thus having the sugar be left behind. Once the sugar is left be hind it hardens and forms into hard crystals we know today as rock candy.

What are the events in the formation of an evaporite?
An evaporite is a sedimentary rock that is soluble in water. It occurs where there is a lake that evaporates more quickly than rain or river water enters the lake. The water evaporates and the rich mineral sediment becomes a rock or a crystal.
What is the rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemical behind?
sedimentary rocks
Which texture of sedimentary rock is formed when water evaporates?
puttin de merd
A student first dissolves sugar in water then evaporates the water to make rock candy The sugar water is an example of?
When a student dissolves sugar in water and then evaporates the water to make rock candy it is an example of a mixture. In science a mixture refers to the combination of different qualities.

Is a rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemicals behind?
These minerals are called evaporites.
