Chemical sedimentary rock is created by precipitation of minerals out of, or evaporation from, saturated solutions that are high in dissolved minerals. Rock gypsum and rock salt are two examples.
Carbon dioxide is related to chemical weathering as it combines with water to form carbonic acid, which can dissolve minerals in rocks over time. This chemical reaction gradually breaks down the rocks and contributes to the process of weathering.
Sedimentary rocks can be formed by chemical reactions when minerals in water precipitate out and settle to form rock layers. Examples of sedimentary rocks formed by chemical reactions include limestone and halite.
Chemical rocks are formed when minerals in solution precipitate out, usually due to evaporation or changes in temperature or pressure. This process leads to the gradual accumulation and solidification of minerals to form rocks like limestone, gypsum, or salt.
No, stalactites are not a form of chemical weathering. Stalactites are formations that result from the deposition of minerals carried by water dripping from the ceiling of a cave, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical processes like oxidation or dissolution.
By precipitation or evaporation of saturated solutions.
Clastic and chemical rocks are both types of sedimentary rocks. They form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment particles. Clastic rocks are composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks, while chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions.

No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
There are two processes in which sedimentary rocks form. One is chemical, and the other is by deposition (sediment being deposited and then cemented together). Examples of chemical sedimentary rocks are limestone, dolomite, and rock salt.
The three categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic rocks form from the accumulation of weathered rock fragments, chemical rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water, and organic rocks form from the remains of living organisms.

the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form is heat, pressure and chemical fluids.
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
the main things that cause metamorphic rocks to form is heat, pressure and chemical fluids.
The main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.
Both organic sedimentary (like coal) and chemical sedimentary (like rock salt) rocks are not composed of particles of other rocks. They are different because organic rocks are composed of the remains of living things but chemical rocks are formed by inorganic processes such as evaporation.
weathering of preexisting rocks form clastic sedimentary rocks, Oversaturated water basins form chemical sedimentary rocks after the water evaporates and dead sea organisms settle at the bottom forming biochemical sedimentary rocks.
