In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
compaction and cementation
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.
Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.
Cementation.

The first step is compaction
Because sands and other coarse sediments are less compressible, compaction is most significant as a lithification process in fine-grained sedimentary rock.
The process is known as lithification, involving the compaction and cementation of sediments.

well lithification means the process in which sediments compact under pressure and also the rock particles are compacted together to for sedimentary rock.
