Sedimentary rocks can form when minerals in a body of water have so saturated the water that they precipitate out, like a cloud that is so full of moisture that it pours out rain. Some limestones are formed in this manner as the mineral calcite precipitates out of a saturated solution and undergoes the process of compaction and cementation. The supersaturated solutions can also be caused by evaporation of a body of water high in mineral content. As the water evaporates, the mineral percentage of the remaining solution becomes higher and higher, until the mineral crystallizes. Rocks such as rock salt and rock gypsum are formed in this manner. Sedimentation from precipitation and evaporation form rocks called chemical sedimentary rocks.
Some sedimentary rocks form when seawater, loaded with dissolved minerals, evaporates. Chemical sedimentary rock also forms when mineral-rich water from geysers, hot springs, or salty lakes evaporates.

P.S.- Just copy and paste this then put it in your own words I wont mind, even if you don't put it in your own words I won't mind but put it in your own words because on time my teacher caught me by typing in a few words in her plagiarizing ap. Peace.
Gypsum, Halite, or rock salt are examples ofevaporites. One reason minerals precipitate is because of the evaporation. When water evaporates, the minerals that were dissolved in the water are left behind. Eventually, concentration of minerals in the remaining water becomes high enough to cause minerals to precipitate out of the water. The Minerals left behind are called Evaporites.
A sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated from seawater is described as chemical.A sedimentary rock that is composed of material evaporated from seawater is described as chemical.
Rock salt is a chemical sedimentary rock.
A sedimentary organic rock is living or was once living like a coral. Chemical is chemically made and is usually man cut.
The main sub-categories of sedimentary rocks are clastic, chemical, and organic. Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of fragments of pre-existing rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from the precipitation of minerals from water solutions. Organic sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of organic materials, such as plant or animal remains.
Chemical sedimentary rocks
A calcitic stalactite.
the chemical sedimentary rock, rock salt
These minerals are called evaporites.
Gypsum is actually a major rock forming mineral. Rock gypsum is a chemical sedimentary rock.
The sedimentary rock formed from minerals precipitating from a solution is called chemical sedimentary rock. It is formed through processes such as evaporation or chemical reactions, without the involvement of organic material or clastic particles.
ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK`s : Is a type of sedimentary rock because sedimentary rock has three types of sedimentary rock called clastic , chemical , and organic sedimentary rock so yes ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK is a type of sedimentary rock..........................................

Clastic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of mineral and rock fragments that are cemented together. Chemical sedimentary rocks: Formed from precipitation of minerals dissolved in water. Organic sedimentary rocks: Formed from the accumulation of organic material, such as plants or animals.
No, sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
