  • Evaporite Rocks: Formation, Types & Examples
    The chemical rock formed by crystallization of excess dissolved minerals is called evaporite.

    Here's why:

    * Evaporation: Evaporites form when water containing dissolved minerals evaporates, leaving the minerals behind.

    * Crystallization: As the water evaporates, the concentration of dissolved minerals increases. Eventually, the concentration becomes so high that the minerals start to crystallize out of the solution.

    * Types of Evaporites: Common examples of evaporites include halite (rock salt), gypsum, and potash.
