What are the agents of lithification?
Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
During lithification what two processes occur?
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
What are the two main stages of lithification?
compaction and cementation
What is the prossess where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above?
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.
Is compaction a step in the rock cycle of a sedimentary rock?
Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.
In the lithification process compaction is followed by .?
Cementation.
What is the name of the process in which sediment turn into rock?
Lithification
The first two steps in the lithification process are?
compaction and cementation.
What is the first step to the lithification process?
The first step is compaction
Compaction is an important lithification process with which sediment size?
Because sands and other coarse sediments are less compressible, compaction is most significant as a lithification process in fine-grained sedimentary rock.
What process changes sediments into rock?
The process is known as lithification, involving the compaction and cementation of sediments.
Compaction is a very important part of the lithification process for which sediment?
peats, probably
What are the agents of lithification?
Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
How do these factors cause lithification?
well lithification means the process in which sediments compact under pressure and also the rock particles are compacted together to for sedimentary rock.
During lithification what two processes occur?
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
What are the two primary causes of lithification?
compaction and cementation
What are the two main stages of lithification?
compaction and cementation
