\n‘Evaporites’ is a term for a type of sedimentary rock. Evaporite rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals out of water that is evaporating. Common examples include rock salt (halite), gypsum, and anhydrite.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEvaporites are chemical sedimentary rocks whose formation is directly linked to the evaporation of water containing dissolved salts, leading to the concentration and crystallization of these salts.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEvaporite deposits are found in environments where evaporation rates exceed precipitation rates, such as restricted marine basins, playa lakes, and salt pans. They can be economically important sources of salt and gypsum.
