The process by which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together into one mass?
The particles in the sediments are cemented as pressure squeezes out water. The dissolved minerals in the water, usually silica or calcite, then become solid (crystallize), tying the particles together.
The process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
The process that presses sediments together is compaction. Thick layers of sediment build up gradually over millions of years. These heavy layers press down on the layers beneath them. The weight of new layers further compacts the sediments, squeezing them tightly together. The layers often remain invisible in sedimentary rock.
What are made of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from minerals dissolved in sea water?
sedimentation
Where do minerals from cementation of igneous rocks come from?
during cementation, water deposits minerals that bind sediment particles together, which earth spheres are involved in this process?
What is water that is free from dissolved minerals?
Dissolved minerals are usually in the form of ions. Therefore water that is free of dissolved minerals is called deionized water.

What is the process where sediments are glued together by minerals?
Cementation
What is cenmentation?
Cementation is when minerals crystallize and glue the sediments together
Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
What is the process in which dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediments together?
Cementation is the term that describes the process of forming sedimentary rock.Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments (products of the weathering of existing rocks) are glued together. When an aqueous solution is dissolved the minerals crystallize and glue sediments together. This process to form sedimentary rocks is called compaction (pressure-hardened) and commendation (gluing together by tiny crystals).
What is compaction and cementation?
Compaction does not necessarily cause materials to stick together. Cementation is more like having a binding material between the layers. Even compaction CAN result in binding together of materials such as sandstone.
When water and other minerals move through open spaces between larger sediments gluing them together what occurs?
Cementation
What are compressed and cemented together to form sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction from overlying sediments and by the cementation resulting from the replacement of fluids with minerals, in a process of rock formation known as lithification.

What binds minerals together to form rocks?
The process of cementation binds minerals together to form rocks. It occurs when dissolved minerals fill in the spaces between the sediment particles.

sedimentation
What type of rock is formed by deposition and cementation of sediments?
Sandstone, a sedimentary rock, is formed by the deposition and cementation of small particles of weathered rock and/or minerals above the surface of Earth. Answered by Jaden
