Answer:

its a naturally occurring mineral

Step-by-step explanation:

Gypsum is made up of oxygen, sulfur, calcium and water. As evaporation occurs the sulfur is not protected by the water and oxygen contacts sulfur bonding with it to form a sulfate. The sulfate then bonds with calcium and water to create gypsum.
