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 type of sediments form from minerals that crystallize from water?
actually no sediment does not form from minerals and crystallize from water.
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.
What are minerals dissolved in?
sediment
What is the removal of minerals that have dissolved in water'?
i think its sediment
What is removal of minerals that have been dissolved in water?
i think its sediment

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.

How is it possible for a single sedimentary rock to contain rock particles animal shells and minerals that crystallize from water?
The rock particles and animal shells are sediments that were transported, then deposited in the same location; as they subsequently were compacted by the weight of additional subsequent sediment deposits from above, the water between the sediment particles was driven out. As compaction drives the water out, minerals are precipitated from the remaining mineral laden solution which bind the animal shells and rock particles together, forming rock.
What is the removal of minerals that have been dissolved in water?
It is called leeching!!! HOPE I HELPED!!!!
How does igneous rock change into a methaporphic rock then a sedimentary rock?
An igneous rock is formed with volcanic activity- magma or lava. This rock would then undergo extreme heat and/or pressure to become a metamorphic rock. This rock would then weather and erode to become sediment. This sediment would be deposited in an area, compacted when other sediment settles on top of it, and cemented when dissolved minerals crystallize and glue particles of sediment together. That process of weathering/erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation would form a sedimentary rock. Hope this helps! This information is very reliable. It came straight from my darling textbook, Interactive Science for Indiana- Grade 7.
