Which sedimentary rock is formed when minerals are left behind after water evaporates?

The correct answer is chemical sedimentary rock, which is formed through processes involving the precipitation of minerals from a solution, typically as a result of evaporation. When water evaporates, it leaves behind dissolved minerals that can crystallize and accumulate, creating a solid rock. This type of sedimentary rock is characterized by its chemical composition and the processes that lead to its formation, as opposed to organic sedimentary rocks that are derived from the accumulation of organic matter like plant or animal remains, and clastic sedimentary rocks, which are formed from fragments of other rocks. Igneous rocks, on the other hand, originate from the cooling and solidification of molten material, making them a completely different category.
