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.


Chemical rock formed by crystallization of excess dissolved minerals?

The chemical rock primarily formed through precipitation from mineral-rich water that has partially evaporated, leaving behind excess dissolved minerals that can crystallize. Examples include limestone formed from the precipitation of calcite, and rock salt formed from the crystallization of halite.


When mixed with water this mineral can dissolve calcium in rock?

The mineral that dissolves calcium in rock when mixed with water is sulfuric acid. It reacts with the calcium carbonate in the rock to form calcium sulfate, which is more soluble and can be carried away by water.


Which rock is sedimentary origin and formed as a result of chemical process?

Dolostone because it is a sedimentary rock that is formed through a chemical process that involves evaporation and crystallization.


Calcium phosphate stored in soil and rock dissolves in water as part of the?

Calcium phosphate stored in soil and rock dissolves in water as part of the natural weathering process. This dissolution releases calcium and phosphate ions into the water, which can then be taken up by plants for growth and development. Over time, this process contributes to the cycling of calcium and phosphorus in ecosystems.

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 into contact with rock containing calcium carbonate (such as limestone), a chemical reaction occurs. The acidic water dissolves the calcium carbonate, leading to the formation of soluble calcium ions, bicarbonate ions, and carbon dioxide. This process is called chemical weathering and can lead to the erosion and dissolution of the rock over time.

How do you measure the amount of carbonate in a rock?

hydrochloric acid + calcium carbonate ▬▬► calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water

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.

What type of rock is marl?

Marl is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed of a mixture of clay and calcium carbonate (such as calcite or aragonite). It typically forms in marine environments where there is a high concentration of organic material.
