Lithification refers to the process in which sediments compact under pressure. The two primary agents of lithification are compaction and cementation.
Lithification involves the compaction and cementation of sediment into rock.
It began as an aggregat of unconsolidated sediment containing pebbles of various rock types. Upon lithification, it became the sedimentary rock called conglomerate.
In the lithification process, compaction is followed by cementation. It is the hardening and welding of clastic sediments by the precipitation of mineral matter.
compaction and cementation
All three types are parts of the 'rock cycle', the never ending cycle of erosion, deposition, lithification, metamorphism, melting, and solidification.

There are two types of production of cement process,1. Dry process2. Wet process
