Evaporite Formation

Evaporite formation took place millions of years ago. There are a variety of Evaporite Uses and the Evaporite Reserves are found in many countries around the world. The rocks in the earth’s crust continuously undergo changes in their composition which leads to formation of other rocks. Each rock has a unique formation process. Formation of Evaporite is explained below:

  • Evaporite is water-soluble mineral sediment which forms from concentration and crystallization by evaporation from an aqueous solution.
