What is a chemical rock formed by crystilization of excess dissolved materials?
This is known as an evaporite, examples include Halite, Gypsum and certain types of Limestone.
Which mineral can form when a large pool of seawater slowly evaporates?
It will depend in what is in the water, in general it will be the solids that have been dissolved, but they will come out as crystals if evaporated slowly. in general it will be salt and/or limescale (calcium carbonate) as they are easily soluble
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?
No, halite crystals do not form when fresh water evaporates. Halite crystals, also known as rock salt, form when saline water (water with a high concentration of dissolved salts) evaporates, leaving behind the salt crystals.
What sedimentary rock form when dissolved minerals are left behind from an evaporated solution?
Evaporites are sedimentary rocks that form when dissolved minerals are left behind from an evaporated solution. Examples include rock salt (halite), gypsum, and some types of limestone.

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.
Which type of rock can be formed by chemical reactions?
Sedimentary rocks can be formed by chemical reactions when minerals in water precipitate out and settle to form rock layers. Examples of sedimentary rocks formed by chemical reactions include limestone and halite.
What are formed when limestone found in the Earth has been eaten away?
Caves and sinkholes are formed when limestone is dissolved by underground water, creating underground spaces. Karst topography, characterized by these features, is a landscape formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks like limestone.
A mineral that is easily dissolved and carried off in solution is?
halite

What sedimentary rock is made from solution of dissolved minerals and water?
Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.

No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
How are stalacite formed?
Precipitation and crystallisation of calcite (calcium carbonate) from the ground-water that has dissolved it from the limestone above the cave.
Why is the limestone cave sometimes called the soultion cave?
Limestone caves are sometimes called solution caves because they are formed through a process called solution weathering. This occurs when water containing carbon dioxide dissolves the limestone rock, creating cave systems over time. The dissolved limestone is carried away in the form of a solution, hence the term "solution cave."
What kind of sedimentary rock is made from solutions of dissolve minerals and water?
Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.
Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?
No, halite crystals do not form when fresh water evaporates. Halite crystals, also known as rock salt, form when saline water (water with a high concentration of dissolved salts) evaporates, leaving behind the salt crystals.
