What does lithification mean in the rock cycle?
Lithified means "to turn to stone", in other words, turning a sediment into a rock.
How does a conglomerate rock form?
Compaction and Cementation
What is the process by which sediments are pushed together in layers to form sedimentary rock?
Settlement and compaction. As particles (sediments) are dumped, lets say, at the bottom of a lake, they will begin to settle and eventually harden into a sedimentary rock.
Changing sediments into sedimentary rock are compaction and?
Cementation.
Which process creates sedimentary rock from sediment?
Compaction and Cementation

it is compaction
Is compaction a step in the rock cycle of a sedimentary rock?
Compaction is a step in the creation of detrital sedimentary rock, those formed from the lithification of sediments.
