<h2>Answer:</h2>

Rock salt and gypsum are formed in environments with high evaporation of salt water such as shallow sea.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

They are minerals found in bays, shallow seas, estuaries, and dry lakes. Gypsum may form large crystals and it is found as a mineral or gypsum rock.

Gypsum chemical composition shows the presence of calcium and sulfate ions to mention a few and this resonates with the area where they are formed. They form when there is evaporation from ocean water with high calcium and sulfate content.

Rock salt otherwise halite occurs due to the evaporation of chloride and sodium ions from ocean water. These two minerals are associated with one another.

Hydroelectric energy

Explanation:

In a dam area, the most likely energy resource would be an hydro-electric energy source.

Here the dammed water is used to produce electricity by forcing turbines to rotate.

Hydroelectric power stations are sited near huge water bodies especially a dam.
The moving water is used to drive heavy turbines that been designed to move electricity.
An area with huge amount of water has immense potential to generate hydroelectric power.

Points A, B, C are collinear find AC if AB= 16 and BC= 12

maw [93]

I’m pretty sure you just add AB to BC, since they are all points on a line, those two segments add together to get the value of AC. Therefore, 12+16= 28, so AC=28
