3. What are salts like halite (table salt) and gypsum considered? Manganese nodules formed from precipitation out of the saturated water column b. Metal sulfides associated with hydrothermal vents Evaporite minerals formed from restricted open ocean circulation with high evaporation rates d. Carbonate deposits in tropical e. None of the above

Answer:

Evaporite minerals formed from restricted open ocean circulation with high evaporation rates

Explanation:

Salts like halite and gypsum are called evaporites.

Evaporites are chemical sedimentary rocks that forms when water in a basin(oceans, lakes) are restricted to flow and evaporation causes precipitation of the minerals dissolved in the water.

Halite and gypsum form insolube precipipate that accumulates over a long period of time in such an environment. The formation of evaporite largely depends on the dissolved load of a sediment and the environment of depositon of the load.
