What does lithification mean in the rock cycle?
Lithified means "to turn to stone", in other words, turning a sediment into a rock.
What is the process of rock particles settling on the riverbed called?
The process is called deposition.
The process that presses sediments together is called?
the process that presses sedimants together is called?
What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
The process by which sediments are glued together to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification. It involves the compaction and cementation of sediments over time, due to the pressure of overlying layers and the precipitation of minerals in the pore spaces of the sediments, binding them together into a solid rock.
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments together to form solid rock is called compaction. It occurs when layers of sediment accumulate on top of each other, with the weight of the overlying layers causing the sediments to be pressed tightly together.
Process of gluing sediments?
To glue sediments together, a process of lithification occurs. This involves compaction under pressure, cementation by minerals like calcite or silica, and sometimes recrystallization. Over time, these processes solidify the sediments into sedimentary rocks.
Process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock?
The process by which sediments are pressed together to form rock is called lithification. It involves the compaction of sediments due to the weight of overlying layers and the cementation of minerals to bind the sediment particles together. Over time, this process transforms loose sediments into solid rock.

What type of process is condensation?
Condensation is a process of water vapor in the air which changed into a liquid matter. It is a gaseous substance that is near to saturate.
What is the process in which sediment is laid down is called?
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
What is the process in which the volume and porosity of a sediment is decreased by the weight of overlying sediments?
The process you are describing is called compaction. It occurs when the weight of overlying sediments compresses the lower sediments, reducing the volume and porosity of the sedimentary rock. This process is common in the formation of sedimentary rocks like sandstone and shale.
