A rock composed of minerals derived from evaporation of mineralized water. Examples: rock salt, gypsum.

Type of sedimentary rock that is formed from the concentration of dissolved salts through evaporation. Combined loss of water to the atmosphere via the processes of evaporation and transpiration.

It is a sedimentary rock which is mainly composed of minerals produced by evaporation, basically from an enclosed body of seawater or a salt lake. The minerals that are formed in this way are gypsum, rock salt, and various nitrates and borates.

the sediment that is left after the evaporation of seawater

a sediment that forms through the evaporation of saline water

Mineral or rock formed by the evaporation of saline water.

Minerals produced by metamorphism, transport or, more commonly, supersaturated saline solutions.

n. a deposit of salt minerals (e.g., halite, gypsum, anhydrite) left behind by the evaporation of seawater, usually forms within a restricted basin.

a sediment deposited after water evaporates (for example, salt)

A sediment resulting from the evaporation of saline water.

(e-vap´-o-rite) One of the sediments that are deposited from aqueous solution as a result of extensive or total evaporation. Examples include anhydrite, rock salt, and various nitrates and borates.

A general group of rocks produced by the extensive evaporation of a saline solution.

a deposit created by the evaporation of sea water.

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

A mineral precipitated as a result of evaporation, such as the solids left behind in the distillation process.

a sedimentary deposit formed as a result of the evaporation of seawater or salne lake water. [AHDOS

Evaporites (IPA: ) are water-soluble, mineral sediments that result from the evaporation of bodies of surficial water.
