Diagnesis. Diagnesis, can be defined as the combined process of gradual and contineous accumulation, stratification, compactation, sedimentation, cementation, and lithification of transported and deposited debrises, detrituses, regoliths and other earths disintegrated materials, to form sedimentary rocks over a long period of time.

Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
Three ways in which sedimentary rocks differ from other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are made up of materials that were once part of another rock. Most sediments are deposited on ocean floors or at the bottom of rivers and lakes.Clastic sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediments. Pressure causes the water around the sediments to be squeezed out and the sediments are cemented together.
How do sediments become sedimentary rocks?
When sedimentary rock is weathered in nature by chemical or mechanical means, the particles that are produced can be eroded and deposited, becoming sediments.
What are sedimentary rocks ad how are they formed?
Rocks made from sediments being compacted & cemented together.
What is the second group of rocks that forms from sediments or pieces of broken rock called?
sedimentary rocks
What processes form stalactites?
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often caused by precipitation.
How the igneous rocks change?
Igneous rocks change to Metamorphic rocks through heat and pressure. Igneous rocks change to sedimentary rocks through weathering and erosion until the igneous rock is sediments. The sediments then compact to form sedimentary rocks.
What two processes change sediments into sedimentary rocks?
OK its simple WEATHERING AND EROSION.... there's your answer......
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
They must undergo deposition then have heat and pressure applied. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the actions of chemical or mechanical processes.
By what process do rocks become sediment?
Loose sediments can become a sedimentary rock through the process of lithification. These sediments are compacted due to intense pressure and then undergo cementation to form sedimentary rocks.
Does the composition of a sedimentary rock depend upon the composition of the rocks and the living things its sediments came from?
It is true that the composition of a sedimentary rock depends upon the composition of the rocks and living things its sediments come from. Sedimentary rocks form through lithification.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
What rocks form from the sediments of the other rocks?
Sedimentary rocks.
What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
What are rocks made from sediments called?
Sedimentary rocks.
What is the group of rocks that are formed from sediments?
sedimentary rocks
How are sedimentary rocks formed by?
by sediments
