Which forms when minerals dissolve in a water solution crystallize?
Chemical Rock
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.
Is Clay Sediment from rock?
Clay is actually a description of sediment of a specific particle size. As such clay is not necessarily a rock. However when compacted and cemented clay forms claystone which is a sedimentary rock.
What rock forms when sediment is transported and then compressed?
igneous rock
When seas or lakes evaporate what type of sediment rock forms?
evaporites
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
What type of sediment forms from mineral that crystallize from seawater?

Which forms when minerals dissolve in a water solution crystallize?
Chemical Rock
What forms when minerals dissolved in water solution crystallize?

What kind of rock forms when minerals that are dissolved in a solution crystallize on earth surface?
sedimentary rock
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves towards less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What forms when minerals dissolved in a water solution crystallize?
Non-Clastic, or chemical, sedimentary rock is formed from dissolved minerals. These rocks are made of chemical sediments that have been dissolved from minerals. Solid minerals precipitate out of the solution in water. These minerals layer, and the water above them causes the pressure which forms the rock.
What kind of current forms when denser seawater sinks under less seawater?
riptide
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
How do chemical rocks form?
The key is the sediments. ... Biochemical sedimentary rocks are formed from organic processes that involve living organisms producing the sediments. These living organisms can be snails and clams whose discarded calcium carbonate shells can form limestone.
What are the ingredients in a sedimentary rock?
The ingredients in a sedimentary rock is sand and sediment because thats what forms it.
