SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the formation of limestone and rock salt, specifically addressing the geological processes involved. Limestone forms from calcium carbonate in solution, while rock salt originates from salt in solution. The conversation emphasizes the importance of context and prior knowledge in answering geological questions effectively. Participants encourage providing attempts at answers to facilitate learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of sedimentary rock formation
  • Knowledge of calcium carbonate and its properties
  • Familiarity with the process of evaporation in geological contexts
  • Basic concepts of mineral solubility
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the process of sedimentation in limestone formation
  • Study the evaporation process leading to rock salt deposits
  • Explore the chemical properties of calcium carbonate
  • Investigate the role of oceanic conditions in mineral formation
USEFUL FOR

Geology students, educators, and anyone interested in sedimentary rock formation and mineralogy.

This is due 1/8. Please at least try...?
 
Are you studying this at college? Nobody is going to just give you the answers out of thin air... I'd like to help but you need to give us more to work with.

I personally think I'd need a bit more context before I could answer those, besides it's the site policy for you to show an attempt.
What do you think the answers might be?
