Question

which term describes a sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated from seawater?
organic
chemical
clastic
foliated

Explanation:

• Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation of organic material (like plant or animal remains).
• Chemical sedimentary rocks form when minerals precipitate out of solution (e.g., when seawater evaporates and minerals like halite form).
• Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the cementing of fragments (clasts) of pre - existing rocks.
• Foliated is a texture term mainly for metamorphic rocks (showing layering due to mineral alignment under pressure).

Answer:

B. chemical
