Describe the sequence of events in the formation of a evaporite?

Question

PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

First, a saline (salty) solution is evaporated, causing the ions in the water to percipitate. Then an evaporite is formed. That's pretty much it.

Answer 2

A lake or sea with no outlet is required. As water enters from creeks and rivers it brings with it whatever material it has dissolved on its way. This material builds up in the lake or sea, causing salinity to rise. As evaporation takes place the least soluble of these salts begins to precipitate from the solution, then the next most soluble, and so on. If it goes to completion, there will be a more or less thick bed of salt(s) where there once was water. In geology, we learn that the sequence is gypsum, halite, and sylvite (with others, of course...nothing is simple).

Answer 3

For water at 212deg. F. as the heat continues u will start to evaporate water and each C.C. u evaporate u will get a refrigeration effect of the absorption of 60 calories,and thus the water stays at 212 deg.
