Evaporite
Evaporite is a name for a water-soluble
mineral sediment that results from concentration and
crystallization by
evaporation from an aqueous solution. There are two types of evaporite deposits: marine, which can also be described as ocean deposits, and non-marine, which are found in standing bodies of water such as lakes. Evaporites are considered
sedimentary rocks and are formed by chemical sediments.
