An evaporite (/ ɪˈvæpəˌraɪt /) is a water- soluble sedimentary mineral deposit that results from concentration and crystallization by evaporation from an aqueous solution. [1] . 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 a type of chemical sedimentary rock. Although there are a very large number of different chemical salts dissolved in seawater, their relative abundances and solubilities allow only very few common evaporite minerals to precipitate naturally.

Evaporite, any of a variety of individual minerals found in the sedimentary deposit of soluble salts that results from the evaporation of water. A brief treatment of evaporite deposits and their constituent minerals follows. For full treatment, see sedimentary rock: …

2025年2月25日 · Evaporites are layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines generated in areas where the amount of water lost by evaporation exceeds the total amount of water from rainfall and influx via rivers and streams.

Evaporites are rocks formed by minerals that precipitate from brines concentrated by solar evaporation.

2023年11月20日 · Evaporites are a type of sedimentary rock that forms through the evaporation of water, leaving behind dissolved minerals and salts. These rocks typically consist of minerals such as halite (rock salt), gypsum, anhydrite, and various potassium salts.

Evaporites form in situations where brines form because the amount of water lost through evaporation is greater than water supplied by rainfall, recharge via rivers, and/or communication with a larger body of water. They can form in a variety of marine, marginal marine, and nonmarine environments that meet these conditions.

The evaporites are a group of sedimentary rocks that were originally thought to have formed from the evaporation of sea water. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Lacustrine evaporites accumulate only in basins with insufficient drainage, particularly closed or endorheic basins, often fed by a groundwater influx.
