Question

question 6 (1 point) what are halite and gypsum considered? evaporite minerals formed from restricted open ocean circulation with high evaporation rates metal sulfides associated with hydrothermal vents carbonate deposits in tropical seas manganese nodules formed from precipitation out of the saturated water column

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Halite and gypsum are evaporite minerals. They form when water evaporates from restricted - open ocean areas with high evaporation rates, leaving behind the dissolved salts which crystallize into these minerals. Metal sulfides are related to hydrothermal vents, carbonate deposits are different types of sediments, and manganese nodules are formed in a different way from evaporation processes.

Answer:

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