Sediment forms layers pressure from water and top layers over thousands of years cause lower layers to stick together and to form what?
Sedimentary rocks
What is the process in which layer upon layer of sediment builds up and pressure from the upper layers causes the lower layers to stick together and form solid rock?
Lithification.
What layers of small sediments stick together because when pressure occurs?
When layers of small sediments stick together because of pressure, compaction occurs. :)
What rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure?
Rocks formed from layers of materials that settle and get cemented together are Sedimentary Rocks.
These rocks form from layers of materials that settle and are cemented together by pressure.?
Sedimentary
What is a pressure causing ice layers to slide over each other?
wet ice causes ice layers to slide over each other
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transform faults?
Convection from the inner layers of the earth
What Causes Rock Layers To Fold?
what causes a rock to break into many layers. DOES WATER
Broken pieces of what types of rock are deposited into layers and cemented together to form?
All types of rock can fragment, and with time, the fragments become deposited in layers which can become buried, then through heat and pressure become cemented together to form a material known as Cliche, which in turn can fuse together through heat and pressure to become what is known as Conglomerate.
The process in which pressure from the upper layers of sediment pushes down on the lower layers causing the sediments to stick together and form solid rock.?
compaction or cementation, but im pretty sure it is comoaction.

How are layers formed in a Sedimentary Rock?
The layers are formed by the deposition of sediments carried by wind, water, or ice.
