Minerals that crystallize directly from seawater are examples of hydrogenous sediment.
Chemical sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and chert, can form when minerals crystallize from seawater. These rocks are typically composed of minerals that precipitate out of solution in bodies of water, including oceans.
Hydrothermal vents: Minerals can form when hot water rich in dissolved minerals rises from beneath the Earth's crust and comes into contact with cold seawater. This rapid cooling causes minerals to precipitate and accumulate around the vent openings. Magma chambers: Minerals can also form when molten rock (magma) cools and solidifies underground in magma chambers. As the magma cools, minerals crystallize out from the molten rock and form distinct mineral formations.
Some examples of sedimentary rocks formed by chemical precipitation from seawater are limestone, dolomite, and evaporites such as rock salt and gypsum. These rocks form when minerals in seawater precipitate out and accumulate over time to create solid rock formations.
The hot magma heats the ocean water that seeps underground. The heated water dissolves minerals. When the solution billows out of vents called "chimneys" the minerals crystallize in the cold sea water. I hope that answers your question ^^
Seawater is denser than freshwater because it contains dissolved salts and minerals, such as sodium and chloride, which add weight to the water molecules. These dissolved substances increase the overall mass of seawater and make it denser than freshwater.

not a hydrogenous sediment?
Sedimentary rocks formed by chemical precipitation from seawater include limestone, specifically in the form of travertine and oolitic limestone, as well as evaporites like halite and gypsum. These rocks result from the evaporation of seawater, which leads to the concentration and precipitation of minerals. As seawater evaporates, dissolved minerals crystallize out, forming solid deposits that can accumulate over time.
Hydrogen, oxygen, trace minerals.
Mineral formation can occur several ways along the MOR. Rising magma can cool and crystallize, forming igneous rock which contains various minerals. Heated seawater also percolates through the hot rock of the MOR, and can precipitate minerals on rock surfaces and at black smokers.
Desalination. Desalination is the process of removing salts and minerals from seawater to make it suitable for consumption or agricultural use.

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.
potassium and sulfate

Air, seawater.
The term is Desalination.
