Question

. Halite is made when a body of seawater becomes closed off and evaporates
and salt precipitates out and is deposited as crystallized halite. What type of
sedimentary rock is formed?igneous rock is divided into two groups extrusive and intrusive extrusive igneous rocks formed when magma makes its way to its surface as lava and cools performing rocks which will be the characteristics of the crystal ​

Answer 1

sedimentary rock are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. pieces of rocks are loosened by weathering,then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. if the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rocks.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rock salt is a sedimentary rock formed from the mineral halite.

Explanation:

• When a body of seawater is closed off and evaporates, halite is formed.

• The remaining water can no longer hold the same quantity of salt as the evaporated water.

• The salt precipitates into crystallized halite or rock salt, which is then deposited.

• Selenite is a calcium sulphate evaporate that comes in a variety of forms.

• There are two types of ions in rock salt: sodium ions and chlorine ions.
