What is he process that sediments are GLUED together?
the process when sediments are glued together is called sedimentation
Sediments are glued together by minerals?
The process is called cementation.
What three processes occur during the formation of sedimentary rocks?
There are actually 4 processes in which a sedimentary rock forms. 1) Erosion. A process in which old rock wear away and become sediment. 2) Deposition. When the sediment is deposited somewhere and are loosely packed. 3) Compaction. A process in which the sediment particles are squeezed under great pressure. 4) Cementation. When the particles are "glued" together forming 1 rock.
What are rocks formed from small fragments called?
Clastic sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed when small sediment particles are compacted and cemented together. This happens when the sediments are glued together by tiny crystals or chemicals from fluids that have precipitated in the pores between the sediments.
What is the process by which sediments get pressed together?
The process is called compaction and that is when the mineral grains are pressed together but have pore spaces in between and hot fluids can pass through. Cementation is when they are fully glued on and there aren't any pore spaces.

What would be cosidered a rock?
A rock is created when lave cools, sediment becomes "glued" together by pressure or if the rock was created within the earth were great heat and pressure are.
What is the process where sediments are glued together by minerals?

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.
Define cementation and compaction?
Sediments are in sedimentary rocks. Everyday, more and more sediment is layed on top of the first batch of sediment(first layer). As the layers build up, they begin to press down on that first layer of sediment, pushing most of the air and water out of it, pushing the particles closer together. This is the process of compaction. This process occurs underground or above and is part of the way that sedimentary rocks are formed.Cementation is the next step in the recipe for making sedimentary rocks. In this step, loose sediments are glued together naturally glues like calcite and silica.
Can a granite countertop be moved after being glued together in the installation process?
is there a thin granite that can be installed over granite I don't like?
Are wooden barrel heads glued together?
No, they are not.
What is it called when your intestines are glued together?
Do you mean an adhesion?

What forms when rock has changed form through exposure and cemented into solid rock?
If I understand your question correctly (and that's a big if), sediment that is exposed to the elements of heat, water, and pressure eventually condense into a rock known as a sedimentary rock. So with little grains of rock mixed with water, you get a material that acts just like a "cement" that glues the larger grains together. With enough sediment, you can get a big rock that in actuality is just a bunch of small sediment pieces glued together. The best example of this kind of rock is sandstone.
