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.
Which of the three types of sedimentary rocks forms when water in a shallow sea evaporates?
This statement cannot be answered. You will have to give me some choices to choose from in order to answer this.
Rocks formed by evaporation of water are called?
They can be called chemical sedimentary rocks, or evaporites; such as rock salt.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
What type of sedimentary rock forms when crystals grow out of solution?
These minerals are called evaporites.
What is formed from minerals left behind after water evaporates?
The remaining minerals are called evaporites.
What are sedimentary rocks form from dissolved minerals called?
They are called chemical sedimentary rocks. Rock salt and rock gypsum are two examples.
What is the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediments together?
Cementation is the term that describes the process of forming sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (products of the weathering of existing rocks) are glued together. When an aqueous solution is dissolved the minerals crystallize and glue sediments together. This process to form sedimentary rocks is called compaction (pressure-hardened) and commendation (gluing together by tiny crystals).
Is a rock that is formed when water evaporates and leaves the chemicals behind?
These minerals are called evaporites.
When mineral rich water evaporates?
These minerals are called evaporites.
What are Rocks made from fragments of minerals or other rocks called?
Clastic sedimentary rock.
When layers of sediment get squeezed together they make this rock type called?
i think it is limestone It is called sedimentary rock.
