Sedimentary rock that is generally capable of storing and transmitting groundwater but tends to dissolve in the water
Any of a variety of minerals found in sedimentary deposits of soluble salts that result from the evaporation of water. Typically, evaporite deposits occur in closed marine basins where evaporation exceeds inflow. The most important such minerals include anhydrite, halite, calcite, gypsum, polyhalite, and potassium and magnesium salts such as sylvite, carnallite, kainite, and kieserite
A non-clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of minerals produced from a saline solution as a result of extensive or total evaporation; e g rock salt
Sedimentary rock or mineral that precipitates from solutions through evaporation
An inorganic chemical sediment that precipitates when the salty water in which it had dissolved evaporates
Type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the concentration of dissolved salts through evaporation
