How do minerals form from water evaporating?
first of all rocks don't evaporate. Second of all they turn into magma then when magma cools it turns into igneous rock
What properties are not commonly used to identify minerals?
I think its Specific Gravity :)
What mineral is used in crayons?
Talc is commonly used in crayons along with other minerals used as pigments (colors).
What are the characteristic that define a mineral?
Nutritionists use the term macromineral to describe the minerals your body needs in large amounts, such as calcium and magnesium. Minerals needed in only small amounts, generally less than 20 milligrams per day, are called trace minerals.Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Fluoride, Molybdenum, Iodine, Chromium and Selenium are trace minerals.
What are metallic mineral?
Native metals are minerals. The only metals that commonly occur in native form are copper, silver, gold, and platinum.
Can minerals can precipitate when liquids cool or evaporate?
yes
What is the substance deposited in the bottom of the evaporating dish?
Generically it would be referred to as a residue. Its exact nature depends on what you evaporated.
Where do minerals crystallize from evaporating water?
Minerals remain as a solid residue.
What is one reason why minerals precipitate?
evaporation
What happens to ocean water that does not evaporate?
The water that doesn't evaporate into vapor stays in the ocean as liquid water. The oceans have a lot of liquid water. Over time, ocean water is always evaporating and turning into rain and comes back to the ocean; but the salts and minerals carried into the sea from rivers never evaporate. They stay dissolved in the ocean waters and make it saltier and saltier.
What is the part of a solution that evaporates leaving a mineral?
When minerals from the solution water dry up, they can evaporate. If you place salt in water and stir it completely, then wait for it to evaporate, salt crystals will be only of what's left. Thick deposits of halite formed through many of millions of years in seas that have evaporated so far. Useful minerals have also been used from evaporating from water. Some like Gypsum used for building materials, Calcite Crystals, used for microscopes, and also minerals like potassium, used for fertilizer.

How do evaporate minerals form?
The water contains minerals when it rains and leaves the minerals on the ground when its evaporated
What is the process of water evaporating that leaves the salts and minerals behind?
Distillation
What do you call the process where minerals precipitate directly from a gas?
Crystallization
Minerals may form on earth surface when?
Solutions evaporate
When minerals dissolve in a liquid does it evaporate or melt?
Dissolve.
Why does water that has evaporated from the oceans precipitate as fresh water instead of salt water?
Salt is too heavy to actually evaporate from the water, so when water evaporates, it leaves most the minerals behind. It's like a natural filtering process.
