Evaporite - Evaporite

Japanese: 蒸発岩 - じょうはつがん
Evaporite - Evaporite
Rocks formed when water from an ocean or lake (especially a salt lake) evaporates and substances dissolved in the water precipitate. A type of chemical sedimentary rock. Includes rock salt, anhydrite, and potassium salts. Generally, the following depositional sequence is observed from bottom to top: 1. Thin conglomerate, red clay, dolomite, 2. Thick layer of gypsum, 3. Thick layer of rock salt, 4. Thin layer of potassium salt. This sequence is in good harmony with the precipitation sequence observed when seawater is evaporated in a laboratory: calcium carbonate (with some iron and aluminum hydroxide) → calcium sulfate → sodium chloride (with magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride). Evaporites were formed at various times around the world, but since a dry climate spread worldwide during the Permian period, those from that period are particularly famous as deposits of rock salt and potassium salts.

海または湖(特に塩湖)の水が蒸発して,水中に溶けていた物質が沈殿してできる岩石。化学的堆積岩の一種。岩塩,硬セッコウ,カリ塩など。一般に,下から上に次のような堆積順序が認められる。1.薄い礫岩(れきがん),赤粘土,ドロマイト,2.厚いセッコウ層,3.厚い岩塩層,4.薄いカリ塩層。この順序は,実験室において海水を蒸発させた場合の,炭酸カルシウム(若干の鉄,水酸化アルミニウムを伴う)→硫酸カルシウム→塩化ナトリウム(硫酸マグネシウム,塩化マグネシウムを伴う)といった沈殿の順序とよく調和している。蒸発岩は,世界各地に,さまざまな時代につくられたが,ペルム紀には世界的に乾燥気候が広がったため,同時代のものは岩塩,カリ塩の鉱床としても特に有名である。
