What does pressure alone do to sediment?
When pressure is applied to pieces of sediment, compaction takes place. Compaction is the process in which pieces of sediment are under severe pressure and it becomes solid rock. Therefore, pressure turns pieces of sediment into sedimentary rock.
What is the process of mineral rich water seeping around sediment and fusing the sediment pieces together called?
This is called cementation.
Sediment is made of pieces of?
particle
What is The formation of large rocks from particles of sediment that occurs as pressure is applied?
What is the process in which rocks ate broken down into smaller pieces by ice, water
What are rocks made from larger pieces of sediment called?
conglomerates
What is the process in which pieces of sediment bounce and skip?
I don't know... Muffins?

Deposition

Sediment is made from pieces of?
Sediment is made from clay, gravel, some organic matter, weathered limestone and basalt.
What is the process of breaking rock into siltsandand other tiny pieces called sediment?
It is known as weathering. Erosion is the carrying away to another location of the weathered grains of rock.
