Answer

Answer:

  1. A. An evaporite.
  2. C. Shale.
  3. C. Recrystallization.
  4. B. Compaction.

Brief Explanations:

  1. Halite forms from water - evaporation, which defines evaporites.
  2. Shale is formed by cementing of clay - sized grains.
  3. When crystals reform due to chemical environment, it's recrystallization.
  4. Compaction is sediment consolidation from overlying weight.
