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.


Did shale come from limestone?

No. Limestone and shale are sedimentary rocks the form by different processes. Limestone is a biological sedimentary rock that forms from the carbonate shells of organisms. Shale is a clastic sedimentary rock the forms from the settling of fine-grained particles of mostly silicate minerals.


Describe how clastic sedimentary rock differs from chemical and organic sedimentary rock?

Clastic sedimentary rock forms when fragments of preexisting rocks are compacted or cemented together. Organic sedimentary rock forms from the remains of plants or animals. Chemical sedimentary rock forms when minerals precipitate from a solution or settle from a suspension.


When granite is weathered and eroded what rock does it become?

Granite typically weathers and erodes into smaller pieces and ultimately changes into sedimentary rock, often forming sandstone or clay minerals through the process of sedimentation and lithification.


Is the sedimentary rock that forms when minerals precipitate from a solution and settle from a suspension organic chemical or clastic sedimentary rock?

The sedimentary rock formed from minerals precipitating from a solution is called chemical sedimentary rock. It is formed through processes such as evaporation or chemical reactions, without the involvement of organic material or clastic particles.


What is the rock that forms in layers of small pieces?

The rock that forms in layers of small pieces is called sedimentary rock. It is made up of fragments of other rocks, minerals, or organic material that have been weathered and transported by wind, water, or ice before settling and lithifying into solid layers. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
