Evaporitekerrostumiin
Evaporitekerrostumiin refer to sedimentary rocks formed from the evaporation of water bodies, typically seawater or saline lake water. As the water evaporates, dissolved minerals become supersaturated and precipitate out of solution, accumulating on the bottom of the basin. The most common evaporite minerals include halite (rock salt), gypsum, and anhydrite. Other less common minerals can also form, such as sylvite, carnallite, and borates.
The formation of evaporite deposits is dependent on several factors, including a hot, arid or semi-arid climate,
Evaporites have significant economic importance. Halite is used for food seasoning, de-icing roads, and in the
