Halite is a common evaporite rock that forms when seawater or saline lakes evaporate. As the water evaporates, the dissolved salts become concentrated and eventually crystallize out of solution. Halite is primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl) and is commonly found in layered deposits.

Other Examples of Evaporite Rocks:

* Gypsum

* Anhydrite

* Sylvite

* Borax

* Potash

* Trona

* Glauber's salt
