What happens during cementation?

During cementation, particles or grains are bound together by a cementing material, such as calcite or silica. This process helps to form sedimentary rocks like sandstone or limestone. The cementation process occurs as pressure from overlying layers squeezes the grains together and the cementing material fills in the gaps between them, creating a solid rock.

Is course sandstone impermeable?

That depends on how well cemented the sandstone is. If the cementation is very poor then the permeability rate is good to excellent. If the cementation is very good, then the permeability rate is poor. Cementation fills in the pore spaces between the grains. The cementation may be calcium or silica.


Why is cementation such an important process?

Cementation is important because it helps bind sediment grains together to form sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and conglomerate. Without cementation, loose sediment would not be able to lithify and transform into solid rock. Cementation also helps to strengthen and stabilize sedimentary rocks, making them more resistant to weathering and erosion.
