Question

Rock gypsum is also gypsum rose. It is formed by


cooling of magma or lava


evaporation of solution

Answer 1

Rock gypsum, also known as gypsum rose, is formed primarily by the evaporation of solution. It typically occurs in sedimentary environments where evaporative processes concentrate minerals in water, leading to the precipitation of gypsum. This process is common in arid regions or areas where water bodies are subject to evaporation. In contrast, the cooling of magma or lava is associated with igneous rocks, not sedimentary minerals like gypsum.
