Explanation:
gypsum rock forms within layers of sedimentary rock, typically found in thick beds or layers. It forms in lagoons where ocean waters high in calcium and sulfate content can slowly evaporate and be regularly replenished with new sources of water.

Answer:
Gypsum is made up of oxygen, sulfur, calcium and water. As evaporation occurs the sulfur is not protected by the water and oxygen contacts sulfur bonding with it to form a sulfate (SO4 2).
The sulfate then bonds with calcium (Ca) and water (H2O) to create gypsum.
The sulfate then bonds with calcium (Ca) and water (H2O) to create gypsum.It is also known as calcium sulphate dihydrate. It is mainly found in white colour.
