What are some examples of chemical sedimentary rock?

Some examples of chemical sedimentary rocks include limestone, dolostone, and rock salt. These rocks form when minerals precipitate out of a solution, such as when water evaporates or through processes like precipitation.


In which environment might you expect a deposit of rock salt or rock gypsum to have formed?

You might expect a deposit of rock salt or rock gypsum to have formed in a shallow, evaporating basin such as a salt flat or a desert play. These minerals are often deposited when water evaporates, leaving behind the salt or gypsum crystals.

Do rock salt and gypsum form when evaporation causes minerals to precipitate from water?

Yes, rock salt (halite) and gypsum can form when evaporation causes minerals to precipitate from water. As water evaporates, the dissolved minerals become more concentrated and reach saturation, leading to the precipitation of these minerals. Rock salt is composed of halite crystals, while gypsum is composed of calcium sulfate crystals.


What is rock salt made from the evaporation of seawater?

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.


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

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that forms as a result of chemical processes. It is composed primarily of calcite or aragonite minerals, which precipitate out of solution in bodies of water. Over time, these deposits solidify to form the limestone rock.
