What are most rock gypusum formed by?
Gypsum (hydrous calcium sulphate) is an evaporite mineral, which is to say that it is formed when a body of water rich in dissolved calcium sulphate either cools, or is concentrated by evaporation, to the point where the calcium sulphate precipates as a solid. Gypsum is found in extensive, often thick strata where seas or lakes have evaporated. Less commonly it is found as a deposit in volcanic springs, or as veins or a cementing material in other rocks where it has precipitated from calcium-suphlate-rich groundwater in voids, cracks, and the interstices between grains.
Calcium phosphate stored in soil and rock dissolves in water as part of the?
Phosphorus cycle
Is limestone a solution?
No it is not. Limestone itself is not a solution. Limestone is a rock which is primarily calcium carbonate as are marble and chalk. Calcium carbonate will react with water if the water contains dissolved Carbon Dioxide (forming a mild carbonic acid) resulting in Calcium Bicarbonate which is soluble and does form solution in water.
Which type of rock is marble made of?
Marble is a metamorphic rock type form. Marble is used as a building material and as sculpture material also.
Sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite which comes from evaporated seabed and animal shells?
Limestone.
How a rock can form by evaporation?
Evaporated salt water will produce rock salt.

What type of rock is marl?
A marl is a calcium carbonate rich mudstone.
Two example of liquid?
molten rock (lava), and water (not frozen or evaporated)
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
How do you measure the amount of carbonate in a rock?
hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ▬▬► calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water
What is the term for sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated for seawater?
A sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated from seawater is described as chemical.A sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated from seawater is described as chemical.
Large white rock that when it is in water it bubbles what is it?
Lime Stone(Calcium Carbonate)

Is dolomite a igneous or a sedimentary rock?
Dolostone is technically a sedimentary rock, although it's easy to understand why some might consider it to me metamorphic. In a shallow, tropical sea environment, such as the Caribbean Sea, Calcium Carbonate from shells and fish bones creates a layer of sediment, and since there is no sediment input from things like rivers, the Calcium Carbonate layer does not get mixed in with other types of sediment. Over time, this Calcium Carbonate is compressed into Limestone. Water can easily travel through Limestone, and if that water is rich in Magnesium, the Magnesium in the water will start to replace the Calcium in a process called diagenesis. Magnesium is smaller than Calcium, so empty bubbles called vugs form in the rock. Then new rock, which is made of Magnesium, Calcium, and Carbonate, is called Dolostone. Since the rock never changed due to heat and pressure, dolostone is not metamorphic, and since the rock was not made from lava or magma, it is definitely not igneous.

How does a rock form from evaporation and an example?
Sedimentary rock is formed by suspended solids dropping to the bottom and building layers that will compress down under the weight of water and go hard after the water source has disappeared, and the moisture has evaporated out of the silt left behind.
