What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
What is the process of pressing sediments called?
The process of pressing sediments is called compaction. The process that results in the layers being stuck together is called cementation.
Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
Process by which sediments are stuck together to form sedimentary rock?
The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
Process of gluing sediments?
It's called cementation, part of the lithification process which turns sediments into rock.
What is the prossess where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above?
The process where grains are pressed together by the weight of sediments above is called compaction. It is one of the processes of lithification.

Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
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.

The process of sediments being compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks is called lithification.
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 it called when sediments are forced together?
It is called compaction.
When sediments are squeezed together by the weight of sediments and rocks on top of them what is it called?
pp
What is it called when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together?
It is called cementation when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together.
They type of sedimentary rock that forms when sediments stick together?
Detrital sedimentary rock. clastic sedimentary A+
